Cobourg, ON (May 3, 2023) – The Town of Cobourg Economic Development Department is eager to announce the launch of the first Cobourg Economic Development Annual Report.
Cobourg’s Economic Development department is focused on addressing the creation of more local jobs in the town’s industrial and downtown commercial areas. The economic development team enables a sustainable economy that provides employment opportunities that enhance the quality of life for its business community and residents. The new Cobourg Economic Development Annual Report showcases the 2022 success stories of Cobourg’s business community as well as achievements in innovation, investment attraction, marketing and promotion and partnerships. It is also a tool to communicate Cobourg as a destination for investment for future investors and business prospects.
“Cobourg’s first ever, annual Economic Development Report is thanks to the hard work of our economic development and Venture13 Innovation and Entrepreneurship Centre team. This report showcases some of the new business and development projects underway in Cobourg and sets a baseline for future annual economic development reporting.” Daniel Van Kampen, Manager of Economic Development, Town of Cobourg
The Economic Development Annual report is part of the Town of Cobourg’s commitment to providing improved information sharing on the business of the Economic Development department and the Venture13 Innovation and Entrepreneurship Centre.
