ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BUSINESS VISITAITON PROGRAM
The purpose of creating a formal Business Visitation Program in North Middlesex is to strengthen relationships between the municipality and local businesses, better understand the challenges and opportunities facing the business community and gather valuable feedback to help update our business directory. Through regular, structured visits, the Economic Development Department will foster open communication, provide direct support, and identify opportunities for collaboration, business retention, and growth. This proactive approach aims to enhance the local business environment, support economic sustainability, and ensure that municipal programs and services align with the evolving needs of North Middlesex businesses.

STRATEGIC PLAN
The Municipality of North Middlesex’s Community & Corporate Strategic Plan sets our priorities, goals and actions and captures more than six months of engagement with youth and adult residents, local businesses, community groups, partners, other municipalities, volunteer fire fighters, and Municipal Council and staff.
More than 500 people shared their perspective. Council reflected on what citizens had to say and used this feedback to re-imagine its vision, mission and values, and decide on five strategic priorities: leadership, engagement, planning, sustainability and prosperity.
These priorities are our pathway forward through 2030.

STRATEGIC PLAN 2025 REFRESH
As we move forward into 2025, this strategic plan refresh reflects the evolving sociopolitical and economic environment, changes in our official plan, and a shift in our staff alignment.
