Trudy Klassen wants to put promoting business to the top of city council’s agenda
Klassen said her top priority, if elected, would be attracting industries and businesses to Prince George, to provide a stable tax base for the city and provide opportunities for young people to stay in the city and build careers and families.
Klassen said speeding up the approval process for proposed new business and residential developments is essential to attract investment. The only way to cover the rising costs of providing city services is to raise taxes on home and land owners, or to expand the tax base by attracting new businesses and residents.
Part of making Prince George a welcoming place for business is making downtown a welcoming and safe place for shoppers and workers, she said. That will take a collaborative approach, working with the diverse social service agencies in the city.
