Economic Development Strategy
Crowsnest Community Economic Development Strategy
After 6 months of extensive consultation and studious work the final report for the Crowsnest Pass Community Economic Development Strategy is complete and available online to view.
Sincere thanks to all who participated and supported the project! The enthusiasm experienced, knowledge shared and countless hours given was both inspiring and invaluable. Well over 300 hundred individuals contributed directly to the project. Thank you!
The Strategy speaks to the challenges and opportunities, the assets and capacities, and shared visions of Crowsnest Pass. The message from participants was clear: coordinated action toward collective community economic development goals is essential to the vitality of our community and the everyday lives of individuals. Clear direction was given on where to start and is detailed at length throughout the Strategy. Please click here to view the Strategy.
The public release of the Strategy is the first step of many required. It is a starting point for action designed around the following key words: inform, envision, act and reflect. With the official public release the project is now handed back to the Crowsnest Advisory Committee. Project coordinator, Amy Boeckner, thoroughly enjoyed working on this initiative with the community and was pleased to have held the responsibility.
While the final details of the Strategy’s next steps are being worked out please contact Community Futures (562-8858) for more information and inquiries.
