The
Bedford Development Corporation (BDC) got underway in March 2001.
The purpose of the Corporation was to pursue the work started earlier
by the Manpower Adaptation Committee (CAMO - Comité d’adaptation
de la main d’œuvre), to implement its various
recommendations and supervise the development activities throughout
the region.
The mission of the Development Corporation is to promote, coordinate
and oversee the harmonious development of the community and its
environment so that it may blossom and prosper economically and
where people will enjoy living. Four main areas of intervention
are targeted: Business & industry, tourism, agro-food
and community involvement.
With respect to the commercial and industrial development of the
Region, it is worth mentioning the key role played by the Regroupement
des gens d’affaires de Bedford et Région. This
dynamic association, founded in March 1999, counts more than 50
members. The BDC considers the Regroupement as one of
its most precious partners. |
