The Counties, Ontario – On March 6, 2014, the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry (SDG) celebrated its first anniversary of the Economic Development and Communications Division. It has been a year not only to celebrate expanding economic opportunity throughout Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry, but also to look forward to the upcoming year and the Municipal Readiness Plan. The morning started off with Tim Simpson, Chief Administration Officer (CAO), welcoming the invited guests and included highlights and 2014 priorities by Terry Besner, Economic Development and Communication Officer (EDCO).

We are pleased to announce that SDG has been awarded $15,000 to complete a Bio-Processing Eco-Industrial Alliance (Bio-Ag) implementation plan. This implementation plan will provide an assessment of the Bio-Ag supply chain linkages within Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry. “Creating additional opportunities to utilize waste and by-products is an excellent approach to enhance the local value chain” stated Terry Besner, EDCO. “The resulting economic payback of the plan would be substantial” added Tim Simpson, CAO.

The first year has set the stage to welcome investment and we look forward to future success!
