The Sarnia-Lambton Economic Partnership has been honoured again as one of the Top 10 Economic Development Groups in Canada by Site Selection Magazine. The “Canada Best to Invest” rankings were announced in the magazine’s September 2010 issue. This is the third time the economic development organization has received this accolade; having also been acknowledged as a Top Ten group by the magazine in 2006 and 2007.
Over the past number of years the Sarnia-Lambton community has come together to drive a vision that is transforming Sarnia-Lambton into a leading centre for clean energy and bioindustries, and significant local investment is now taking place in these new sectors.
“The recognition of the Sarnia-Lambton Economic Partnership is a tribute to the collaborative purpose driven community of Sarnia-Lambton and our determined efforts to bring economic change,” noted Sarnia-Lambton Economic Partnership Chair, Sarnia Mayor Mike Bradley. “George Mallay, General Manager, and the Partnership staff deserve full credit for their professionalism, dedication and commitment to Sarnia-Lambton that resulted in this prestigious honour.”
The Top Ten designation is awarded based on corporate facility project attraction (as tracked by Conway Data’s proprietary New Plant Database), job creation, regional partnership, proactive programming and quality data and web resources.
The other Canadian economic development groups named are (in alphabetical order): Greater Halifax Partnership, Nova Scotia; City of Hamilton, Economic Development & Real Estate Division; London Economic Development Corporation; City of Mississauga Economic Development Office; Montréal International; PÔLE Quebec Chaudière-Appalaches; City of Toronto; Vancouver Economic Development Commission; and Economic Development Winnipeg Inc.
