Regional Economic Development Plan Being Created

Businesses in Wawa can expect a phone call asking if you want to take a survey - and doing so could help with an important regional plan.

Superior East Community Futures Development Corporation General Manager Tracy Amos explains the organization's hired the firm MDB Insights to create a Regional Strategic Economic Development Plan covering the Superior East region.

Amos notes the "partners" include municipalities, First Nations, and economic development offices within the Superior East region, including Wawa east to Chapleau and north to Manitouwadge.

As for the survey, Amos notes it's intended to gather information for the plan.

Amos encourages businesses contacted to take the survey, as a better response will greatly help with the plan's creation.

The final plan is expected by the end of May.
