The County is seeking to increase engagement through the profiles with the businesses in addition to informing the public, businesses and investors about the economic potential, challenges and opportunities of the sectors in the County.

- Agriculture (Production, Support Services, Agricultural Manufacturing, & Value-add Processing),
- Energy,
- Tourism and
- Warehousing and Logistics.

Furthermore, the competitive land analysis provides a detailed overview of the County’s labour, available land (lack of shovel ready lands) and infrastructure. 2025 Lightcast data was utilized for these documents. The successful respondent will be provided these documents upon project award.
