New Brunswick's approach to economic development puts communities in the drivers seat of their own economic growth, by giving them real decision-making power and the resources they need to build on their own assets and strengths. It's community development from the ground up based on a partnership between various levels of government and the community. The goal is to help businesses and community organizations take their future in their own hands.
