Resilient Economic Development Strategy – Richmond, BC
Coriolis prepared a 10-year economic development strategy for the City of Richmond, BC. With the international airport, major port facilities, primary industries including fishing and agriculture, major warehouse/distribution facilities, a technology concentration, and a significant tourism sector, Richmond has a large and diverse economy that accounts for a significant share of metro Vancouver employment. The strategy provided practical guidance for enhancing the local economy in ways that are consistent with the goals of the City’s new Official Community Plan and that reflect the City’s priority on resilience and sustainability.
