The Economic Forum on March 24 will provide a great way to highlight the key elements of Langford’s Five-Year Economic Plan, which focusses on incentives for job creation and growth. Langford Council has been successful in creating first-class recreational facilities that benefit people of all ages. Other improvements like the beautification of our downtown core, the addition of more bike lanes connecting our neighbourhoods with our attractions, shopping areas, and the planning of more family-oriented neighbourhoods makes Langford an appealing option for families and new businesses. The emphasis in the years ahead needs to be on attracting more businesses that create more jobs for our residents, and allows us to continue with improvements that enhance Langford’s long-term liveability and sustainability
Dr. Avi Friedman, a keynote speaker at the Seminar, is a highly respected, internationally renowned Professor of Architecture at McGill University. I think those in attendance will find what Dr. Friedman has to say about the progress Langford has made, and how we can move forward through innovative economic development, informative and fascinating.
