BR+E PROJECT<br />
The <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Georgina</strong> has commenced a Business Retention and Expansion Project (BR+E). This project<br />
is being coordinated by the <strong>Town</strong> in partnership with the Ontario Ministry <strong>of</strong> Agriculture, Food & Rural<br />
Affairs (OMAFRA), South Lake Community Futures Development Corporation, and the <strong>Georgina</strong> Chamber <strong>of</strong><br />
Commerce.<br />
The BR+E Program is an economic development tool developed by OMAFRA that helps rural communities to<br />
promote job growth and business expansion by:<br />
1. Identifying the needs, concerns, and opportunities <strong>of</strong> existing local businesses.<br />
2. Develop local action plans that will respond to the needs <strong>of</strong> the business community;<br />
3. Demonstrating the community’s pro-business attitude and developing an effective means <strong>of</strong><br />
communication with local businesses; and,<br />
4. Assisting to determine the future focus <strong>of</strong> economic development activities.<br />
The surveying <strong>of</strong> local businesses is underway. In the next few weeks you may be one <strong>of</strong> the businesses selected<br />
to participate in this project. It is intended that the sample group will include a sampling <strong>of</strong> businesses from all<br />
sectors, business sizes from all communities. If selected, you will be asked to meet with the project coordinator<br />
or designate and complete a questionnaire.<br />
Your input is important and is invaluable to the success <strong>of</strong> this project. All responses will be kept<br />
confidential.<br />
