MITACS BSI Application – County of Lennox & Addington

The Economic Development Task Force is expanding their Investment Attraction Initiatives to ensure continued economic growth in the region. Despite the challenges that COVID-19 has created for Lennox and Addington County, there are many economic growth opportunities. A partnership with the Smith School of Business will enable the County of Lennox and Addington to grow on their current successes and further grow the local economy with new investment attraction opportunities. The Lennox and Addington Economic Development Office requires an intern to implement investment attraction projects and assist community leaders within the area with local initiatives. This project will require the intern to conduct supporting research to attract new business opportunities. Additionally, the project involves collaboration with the EDO to help local municipalities find gaps in their local economy. Furthermore, the intern will be required to develop pitches with EDO with research and evidence to attract companies to expand their operations and open up manufacturing, commercial and retail businesses in Lennox and Addington County.
