Municipal investments were central to Mayor Paul Lefebvre’s second annual State of the City Address, which he delivered at the Caruso Club on May 2.
The annual address was hosted by the Greater Sudbury Chamber of Commerce, whose past-chair Anthony Davis described it as carrying “great news” for the city. Given its economic impacts, Davis said the economic benefits of a new arena building made the decision a “no brainer.” As Lefebvre has repeatedly said, including during his inaugural State of the City address last year, housing remains an important part of the city’s economic development goals. His goal is still hitting a population of 200,000 by 2050, which is on the upper end of municipal projections.
During last year’s State of the City address, Lefebvre announced the creation of a new task force on labour attraction. One year later today, he said he’d be making an announcement soon on what he has named the Greater Together Project “to enhance our economic attraction and welcoming efforts while outlining our actions to embrace diversity and inclusion.”
