Assessing Readiness
ARE YOU READY FOR INVESTMENT?
Take the Municipal Readiness Test
This questionnaire is being provided courtesy of the Government of Ontario, Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing.
This interactive is designed for municipal officials and staff as a tool to quickly and easily assess your community’s investment readiness. Key elements of the interactive test focus on municipal contacts for information, land use planning, industrial land inventory data, marketing and other relevant local resources that may factor into your readiness quotient.
Evaluating your community’s potential will provide a foundation for both short and long term planning. It will assist in decision making in regards to its future development.
As you take the test, look beyond your physical municipal boundaries to the broader market area of a potential employer. Questions are divided into three sections: people, resources and communication.
