Build a strong local economy: attract major employers and support small business
Business counts rose in figures the mayor presented. No Celestica-scale employer win is on the recent record.
At his 2024 town hall, the mayor presented business counts rising from about 2,400 (2018) to about 2,675 (2022). That figure is mayor-presented and has not been independently verified here.
The Postmark Hotel opened this term.
No large new employer comparable to the Celestica example he cited in 2018 has been prominently reported.
