UBC Sauder Intern explores real estate needs for business attraction, retention and expansion
May 27, 2010
This summer the Economic Development Offices (EDOs) in Maple Ridge, Mission and Pitt Meadows are partnering together to fund a unique research project aimed at attracting and retaining high value jobs.
These neighbouring communities north of the Fraser River are forecast for unparalleled growth in the coming years. As their population grows, they're seeking to attract commercial and industrial investment to balance the economic base, and to create high value local jobs. As a result, how and where businesses locate and their impact on the local economy is of high interest to these communities.
Mr. Kevin Moroso, 2011 MBA Candidate from the Sauder School of Business at UBC, has been chosen for this assignment that begins June 1 and is slated for completion at the end of August 2010. His work will culminate in a report to the EDOs outlining his findings and recommendations.
