Centre Region Economic Development Assessment
The Centre Region Economic Development Assessment is the first study of its kind to be undertaken by the COG. The objective was to prepare a series of recommendations and implementation actions that would help define a cohesive regional economic development policy for the Centre Region.
The assessment does not establish a grand vision for economic development, but rather builds a path based on regional strengths and the evaluation of specific areas where change in existing practices could be improved. The report provides a series of recommendations that will be implemented over a number of years.
The Centre Region Economic Development Assessment was accepted by the COG General Forum on August 22, 2011.
