Business Visitation Program: Expression of Interest
The City of Port Colborne Council and staff recognizes the value existing business bring to our local economy. The businesses present within the City have made investments in facilities, created jobs, and provided a support network which anchors our local economy. Recognizing this value, the City of Port Colborne, through the Economic Development and Tourism division, has launched a formal Business Visitation Program. The program seeks to enhance communication between the City and the business community, to introduce the community to a single point of contact and create opportunities to voice concerns and discuss how the City can facilitate retention and growth.
The objective of the program is to enable the City to:
Express our gratitude to businesses which have chosen to establish operations in the City of Port Colborne
Meet with owners and operators to learn about business operation, future plans, business issues, problems and barriers to business operation within the City of Port Colborne
Assist us in establishing longer term economic and community development priorities by gathering information that will help reduce business costs, improve competitiveness, enhance infrastructure and increase & develop viable local and export markets.
Connect local companies with resources for growth and networking opportunities
Discuss services and resources available within the government (Municipality, Regional, Provincial and/or Federal)
With the enhanced communication and knowledge acquired, the City will be better equipped to represent the interests of Port Colborne businesses.
