Parrsboro ECONOMIC Development

Welcome to the Parrsboro Economic Development Strategy Page!

Through careful discussion, a broad range of people have helped shape an initial strategy for Parrsboro. Now, it’s your turn — to provide feedback on your community’s emerging strategy, to identify where you might want to get involved in implementing specific parts of that strategy, and identify how this strategy could help you achieve your personal goals. 

Your input will make Parrsboro’s strategy better and more relevant, and your involvement in implementation will help ensure that effective action is taken. While the Municipality is supporting their development and implementation, it will be up to the residents of Parrsboro to bring these strategies to life.

The options to provide feedback include:
