Economic Development Strategic Plan

The Municipality of Port Hope is developing a comprehensive Economic Development Strategic Plan, which will guide our efforts to seize, retain, and attract new investment, job creation, and wealth generation in Port Hope over the next five to 10 years.

The strategic planning process will include three phases: research and analysis, consultation, and strategy development.

Phase 1: Research and Analysis

This phase includes a review of previous reports and strategies that will provide a foundation for the Economic Development Strategic Plan including the Port Hope Strategic Plan, Port Hope Official Plan and Northumberland County Official Plan. It also includes a detailed economic and demographic analysis focusing on key trends and identifying areas of priority for strategic consideration. The review also includes an assessment of By-laws, policies and regulations and Port Hope’s investment readiness.

Phase 2: Consultation

Your thoughts, observations, and insights will help ensure the strategy reflects business needs and community aspirations. Your input will help develop a strategic plan that supports a thriving, resilient, and prosperous community. This phase will include a summary Findings and Issues Report that will summarize the analysis and feedback gathered in Phase 1 and 2 of the strategic planning process.

Survey

Your feedback helps us develop a plan that reflects the experience and insights of local businesses and residents. This survey is now closed.

Phase 3: Strategy Development

This phase of the project will create the road map to guide the Municipality for the next five to 10 years. It will build upon the analysis and consultation to identify the strategic priorities, vision, mission, goals, and objectives for Port Hope’s economic development.

Final Economic Development Strategic Plan

At their final meeting of 2023, Council officially endorsed the new Economic Development Strategic Plan, which identifies our economic priorities for the next seven years. This plan will guide how we support local business, new and existing jobs, and the quality of life of our community.
