Optimizing Industrial Land in British Columbia
In British Columbia, investment in industrial land generates significant economic activity, creates jobs, and is essential to maintaining B.C.’s global competitiveness. However, high land prices, low vacancy rates, and rising rental costs are making it increasingly difficult for businesses to find space in urban areas. At the same time, despite having ample industrial land, many rural communities still face challenges attracting investment.
 
Join us to learn how the Province of British Columbia is responding to these needs, and how you and your community can be involved.
  Session Overview
The Province of British Columbia is partnering with the British Columbia Economic Development Association to host a virtual roundtable, inviting communities to share their perspectives on the opportunities and challenges associated with growing industrial investment across the province.
 
Participants will learn about work currently underway to address industrial land challenges in B.C. and will have the opportunity to share information about their community’s needs. The Industrial Land Office (ILO) is seeking direct input from interested parties on what’s working, what’s challenging, and what supports are needed to optimize industrial land use.
