Downtown Revitalization = Job Creation

The Downtown Revitialization project is paying dividends for Kenora's Job market.

A new survey conducted by the Lake of the Woods Development Corporation shows that since Phase One of Downtown Revitalization began, 261 jobs have been created.

The Commission interviewed 59 restaurants and retail businesses in the Harbortown area recently.

It found that 129 full-time and 132 part time jobs have been created over the past five
years.

More details on the report will be released this morning at City council's Committee of the Whole meeting.
