The plan is being developed by the Annapolis Digby Economic Development Agency, and will address a range of initiatives in the tourism, agriculture, forestry, fisheries and other economic sectors.

Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA) is contributing $40,000 to this project, with the Department of Foreign Affairs providing an additional $25,000. “By developing a five-year investment strategy, we’re taking an innovative approach to positioning the Annapolis Digby region for future economic growth, said Mike Gushue, managing director of ADEDA. “We will look to those sectors that are in a growth mode, develop business cases for those opportunities that show the most potential and present these to qualified investors. It’s a practical, business approach to attracting investment to our region.”

The federal government’s funding was announced by West Nova MP Greg Kerr.
