Centre Wellington sets sights on the future of local economic development & tourism

New strategy development is underway, with multiple opportunities for community participation.

CENTRE WELLINGTON – We are excited to launch the Economic Development & Tourism Strategy, setting a 20-year vision for the community.

By embarking on this process, the Township seeks to define new directions, ideas, and approaches to enhance economic growth, attract investment, develop Centre Wellington as a four-season visitor destination, and ensure that the opportunity continues to be a significant part of local quality of life.

We are actively planning a variety of consultation and engagement opportunities to gather input from our community and beyond. One such opportunity is a comprehensive survey designed for residents, business owners, and visitors, now live at www.connectcw.ca. We encourage everyone to participate and share their valuable insights.

“As competition for investment and visitation intensifies, Centre Wellington is keen to establish a trajectory that continues to set us apart from other communities in Ontario, as a leader of innovative economic development and tourism practices, and as a memorable location to live, work, visit, and do business,” says Mayor Watters. “The vision and strategy that results from these efforts is set to guide our economic development and tourism efforts over the next 20 years, and ensure the community has the right foundations in place to support excellence in both sectors.”

In addition to filling out the survey, residents can take part in a Community Visioning pop-up at the Key Township Open House on Tuesday, October 22, from 6-8 p.m. at the CW Community Sportsplex.  More information can be found at www.centrewellington.ca
