PEI Invests in Community Economic Development

February 15, 2010

The provincial government of Prince Edward Island is establishing a new Secretariat – called Rural Development PEI – to implement the 40 Actions set out in the Rural Action Plan.

This Rural Development Action plan creates Community Economic Development Investment Funds, modelled after Nova Scotia.  It also establishes a Community Accounts data system similar to that in Newfoundland and Labrador, and increases funding to Community Economic Development.
