Economic Development Awards: Town of Paradise Wins Big!

The Economic Developers Association of Newfoundland and Labrador (EDANL) presented their 2018 Economic Development Awards of Excellence at the recent EDANL Conference held in Deer Lake. The Town of Paradise was proud to accept the Community Project Award and Marketing Award during the ceremony.

The Community Project Award was received for a Business Retention and Expansion and Firmographics Project, which involved surveying more than 80 local businesses over a six week span. Information from this survey supported the launch of a Business Directory.

The Marketing Award was received for our Just Imagine Retail Opportunities Brochure, which involved the collection of relevant demographic data.The Town used this brochure and information to secure key retail investments.

These two projects support the implementation of Town's Economic Development Strategy, and help support the strategic objectives and policies contained in the Economic Prosperity section of the Town of Paradise Municipal Plan "Imagine Paradise".
