North Cowichan is developing a new Economic Development Action Plan in 2024 that will guide economic and business direction over the next several years. This action plan will outline our opportunities and challenges, and prioritize goals to help us realize a more welcoming municipality for economic prosperity.
With the support of an economic development consultant, North Cowichan would like to hear from businesses, industries, business-serving organizations, and area First Nations, on your ideas for economic development, where you see opportunities and challenges, and where to focus our actions.

In November 2010, Council approved North Cowichan's Economic Development Work Plan (PDF). This plan focused on providing infrastructure and zoning for development; marketing, business development and promotion; creating attractive waterfronts/downtown(s); enhance/protect the resource sector; expand tourism opportunities through strategic investments; promote the development of high-tech and knowledge sector; waste conversion opportunities; and, infrastructure for development.
