2023 Progress Update
The latest numbers of job creation in Mission indicate an increase of 173 jobs by the end of 2023. Job creation numbers will be updated for 2024 by the end of the year.
About the Goal
Industrial and Commercial Expansion
The residents of the City of Mission need more opportunities for well-paying local jobs. The City currently experiences leakage in terms of well-paying jobs that residents can access within the City. Approximately 64% of current Mission residents work outside of the City’s boundaries causing commuter congestion, societal issues with working parents struggling to balance commute times with family and social activities, and lack of taxation to fund much needed community programming.
How We Will Do This
- Initiate the Waterfront Revitalization Implementation Plan.
- Adopt and implement the Employment Lands Strategy.
- Conduct a review of the City’s Official Community Plan to determine priority planning areas for Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional development.
- Determine the City’s role and investment potential to catalyze priority planning areas
