Town of Amherst and Municipality of the County of Cumberland Announce New Economic Development Model
- Details
The Town of Amherst and the Municipality of the County of Cumberland are announcing a new approach to delivering economic development services that will strengthen collaboration, improve efficiency, and enhance accountability while continuing to support local businesses and entrepreneurs.
With the recent expiry of the operating agreement between the Cumberland Business Connector, the Town of Amherst, and the Municipality of the County of Cumberland, both municipal councils undertook a review of how economic development services could best be delivered to meet the region's evolving needs.
Following that review, both municipalities have concluded that economic development services will be most effective when delivered directly through municipal staff. This approach provides a direct reporting relationship to each municipality, resulting in greater accountability, more responsive decision-making, and improved alignment with each municipality's strategic priorities.
