As our population grows significantly, our employment base needs to grow with it. We should be actively attracting a broader mix of employers in manufacturing, skilled trades, technology, professional services and other sectors that provide sustainable, well-paying jobs. That means having employment lands ready, competitive development processes and the infrastructure businesses need, while working with employers, educational institutions and other levels of government. I also believe we need to support the businesses already here. Growth shouldn’t simply mean adding thousands of homes and sending more residents down Highway 400 every morning. A stronger New Tecumseth means creating more opportunities for people to live and work here.
