2023-2027 Durham Region Economic Development Strategy and Action Plan |
The 2023-2027 Durham Region Economic Development Strategy and Action Plan Ready Set Future: A PLACE Blueprint for Durham delivers on the third pillar of Durham Regional Council's Strategic Plan: "To build a strong and resilient economy that maximizes opportunities for business and employment growth, innovation and partnership." This strategy sets out an economic development vision for the region three decades into the future – aspirations for a talented workforce, vibrant downtowns, a reputation for business innovation, and a distinct creative identity. A Five-Year Action Plan, found in the second half of this strategy, is the roadmap for the next five years. These actions will guide Durham Region confidently down the path to begin realizing these aspirations. Durham’s distinct cultural identity—and its vibrant and diverse downtowns—will be magnets for talent and investment, and the region’s innovation community will be known for solving global challenges. |
