Growing Economy

Supporting our local entrepreneurs through streamlined permits and enhanced resources to foster a thriving business environment. By expanding into new industrial sectors, we can ensure our town remains prosperous through any market change. Our focus on modernizing key logistics ensures we are ready for tomorrow.
Make downtown more walkable.
Reform the Development Permit process. Streamline by eliminating small projects, projects that are covered under current bylaws, and give staff more leeway to approve. This eliminates barriers and costs for businesses and residents, and reduces staff time.
Harmonize with Kimberley's building bylaws for energy and carbon.
Leverage the huge coming growth in rental properties and daycare to encourage new business development.
I will put out the welcome sign for new businesses looking to relocate to Cranbrook. I will ensure that they are directed to not only the Economic Development officer, but also to others relevant to their industry.

Continue staff's "Value for Money" process and consider engaging a Value for Money consultant for fresh ideas to reduce costs without sacrificing services.
Aspire to keep property tax increases below the cost of living increases, effectively creating a tax cut.
Ensure that all fees are competitive with similar-sized communities.
Fiscal stability through long-term planning and diversified revenue streams.
Responsible budgeting that prioritizes essential infrastructure and community services.
Transparent taxes with clear reporting on how every dollar is invested in Cranbrook.
Continue the work to rationalize transit as a hybrid scheduled and on-demand system, and raise awareness to increase ridership.
Advocate to the Province to carry through on its recommendation for a lower-cost two-tiered policing system.
