Why “WIN THIS SPACE”?
Adapted from a project implemented in a neighbouring rural community with great success, the Listowel BIA launched “WIN THIS SPACE” on April 3, 2018.
“WIN THIS SPACE” saw entrepreneurs complete business preparation sessions, with the winner receiving financial support towards commercial rental space in the town of Listowel. Participants learned business plan creation, budgeting, human resources, and marketing, while sharpening presentation skills for the creation of their new business or expansion of their existing business.
The Listowel BIA believes this project will directly result in business growth and development, new job creation, fill vacant retail space in the community, as well as provide valuable exposure for the town. The project will also:
- Have the potential to attract new businesses and entrepreneurs from outside the area.
- Support current businesses and the community as a whole by marketing Listowel as a place to ‘Shop, Dine and Discover'.
- Offer more to local and visiting shoppers by filling commercial vacancies, while also attracting more shoppers to existing businesses.
The Listowel BIA was awarded a Libro Prosperity Fund grant of $10,000 to support the “WIN THIS SPACE” project.
