Tumbler Ridge continues to flourish as business develops and interest increases, requiring the Dostrict to not only accommodate this growth but also plan for the future. With the growing demand on commercial development along with the industry prospects on the horizon, there has been a lot of pressure for the District to expand so that businesses won’t be discouraged.

 

First and foremost in our minds is the quality of life provided to the residents within our community. Therefore, we’ve paired economic development initiatives with the beautification and maintenance of our environment. This combines solutions for short term problems that do not sacrifice long term quality in our community. 

 

Tumbler Rige will only thirve as the growth in the community is thoroughly planned in order to maintain the cohesion of our town. Developing a well-rounded plan is vital to keeping a strong downtown core, the beauty of our environment and the small town feel that makes us unique.

 

One of the top priorities of economic development is to make room for the growing business community and the rekindled interest in Tumbler Ridge. Solutions are being constructed that address the recent lack of space and allow for developers and prospective businesses to continue to enter our town and help grow our economy.

 

The economic outlook calls for a rapid rise in the workforce in Tumbler Ridge over the next two or three years following commercial and industrial growth. Our goal is to provide an affordable solution that will remain an attractive addition to the town over the long term. This way the value of the community will increase and remain as a result of this initiative, while providing the short term solution of cost effective housing for a growing populace.
