The agency has completed work on the first Altona Rhineland Region Developer’s Package, making it available immediately from its website (ared-rpga.com) and with hard copies on the way.

The package is meant to be a comprehensive resource designed to showcase the region’s strengths and attract new investment and development opportunities, says economic development officer Stephanie Peters.

“The idea for a developer’s package actually came from our last strategic planning session,” she shared. “When we meet with businesses looking to invest in the community we have all this information on hand, but it’s wasn’t in such an attractive, compact package.

“We thought that it would be beneficial to put all this information into one easy-to-read and easy-to-access package.”

The document highlights the key advantages of the RPGA region, including economic indicators, demographics, labour market insights, major industries, and available land and business spaces. 

“This package is an important tool in helping us tell the story of the Altona Rhineland region,” Peters said.

Printed copies will be distributed to commercial realtors, municipal offices, and partnering economic development organizations and used at conferences and investment-related events to further promote the region.
