Here. Brampton. 4 A Resil ient Economy by Don Eastwood, Director, Economic Development The year 2008 will be remembered as the year when “it all came apart.” In the past year, the financial crisis that began in the United States spread around the globe, impacting every economic sector and industry to varying degrees. The current global recession is due to a combination of factors that have come together to create uncertainty about when market and economic conditions will return to normal. Leading economists and business observers agree that this recession is unprecedented, presenting not only challenges but also opportunities for companies to embrace innovation, re-evaluate new markets and transform their operational practices in order to position themselves for the economy of the future. The City of Brampton is not immune to these global economic pressures, and during 2008 experienced sharp declines in some of the most important economic engines for the City’s previous growth: residential and commercial construction declined sharply, and manufacturing was heavily impacted by worsening global trade. Despite obvious challenges, the best municipalities, like leading companies, do more than survive in a downturn. They position themselves to thrive during its subsequent upturn, guided by clear strategic objectives, responsive governance and prudent financial management. Brampton remains a secure, predictable and geographically well-positioned location for business investment. Over the past year, in spite of downward pressure on the City’s revenue base and impacts on the labour force, the City has demonstrated its ability to seek out and capitalize on new opportunities for growth that will be the basis for future prosperity. Brampton has initiated a review of its corporate and economic strategic plans, and City Council has renewed its commitment to attracting new business and encouraging downtown revitalization. Brampton’s property taxes and business costs remain competitive with every jurisdiction in the Greater Toronto Area while maintaining its Triple-A credit rating. The City of Brampton has invested heavily in modern transportation infrastructure. In comparison to other Canadian communities, Brampton remains in a strong competitive position due in large part to our diverse and resilient economic base. Not reliant on the fortunes of only one particular sector or industry, Brampton’s economy is comprised of more than 8,100 companies in a wide range of manufacturing, business services, transportation, retail, trade, education and human service sectors. Diversity means stability, and small size implies agility. Over 75 per cent of Brampton companies have between 1 and 10 employees while the balance of the employment base is comprised of large corporate and public institutions. Brampton remains a secure, predictable and geographically well-positioned location for business investment. Brampton continues to offer investors the following strategic advantages: • Next door to Canada’s largest international airport • Located in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) with room to expand • State-of-the-art goods movement infrastructure • Third most diverse city in Canada • Major companies already located in Brampton • Committed to modern physical infrastructure • Young, multicultural, skilled and growing labour force • Low risk and predictable cost environment • Strong government support Brampton’s “Open for Business” attitude is present at every level, within every department. The City of Brampton is continuously striving to partner with existing businesses and those investors considering Brampton as a new place to call home, making business in Brampton a positive experience. While 2008 was a challenging year, and the timing for economic recovery is uncertain, Brampton’s ability to maintain its position as a leader in attracting future growth stands assured.
