Economic Development Commission Fights to Keep Business Center

The Northwest Business Center is caught in a bit of a power struggle.

The Ministry of Northern Development and Mines recently sent a letter to the

Lake of the Woods Economic Development Commission saying the Business Center should be reporting directly to the city's chief administrative officer.

Dennis Wallace is chair of the Commission and says it only makes sense to maintain the current relationship between the two agencies.

Wallace met with council yesterday to discuss the situation and is also seeking support from the city to maintain its current relationship with the Northwest Business Center.
