This project responds to the research question: “what models of local economic development exist, and which would be appropriate for the Regional District of East Kootenay’s Columbia Valley sub-region?” The goals of this study were to:
- Identify and explore the potential and suitability of models of local economic development;
- Identify and understand needs and ideas related to the current Columbia Valley Economic Development Advisory Commission approach; and based on #1 and #2
- Provide evidence-based advice to the Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK).
To deliver on the goals of this study and respond to the research question the research team completed a literature review; conducted targeted interviews within the RDEK; conducted targeted interviews with representatives from external (non-RDEK) examples; and prepared a summary report of the findings.
