The City of Summerside is seeking innovative ideas that support the City’s pursuit to serve its residents, visitors, and businesses with innovative solutions to common municipal ambitions and to achieve Net Zero City Status.

The City of Summerside business community is certainly on a growth trajectory... and why would we not be? It’s thanks to living and working in a seaside environment, having a growing and diverse population, enjoying a diverse selection of housing options, and access to the highest quality amenities and services.

February 9, 2022, marked an important date for data collectors nationwide. That day represented the first checkpoint in the 2021 Census Release Schedule where population and dwelling counts became available. In our case, Summerside’s population had the largest increase since it became a City in 1995.

In last month’s newsletter, we wrote about how Summerside broke its all-time record for building permit investment values by having a $53M total as of Nov. 30, 2021. Closing out 2021 saw investment activity in Summerside come in at $73.7 million for the year.

We know Christmas means different things for each of us, but in a year when ‘normal’ and ‘routine’ have all but been abandoned, we hope that the approaching holiday season will feel like a very welcome traditional time charged with a renewed sense of meaning.

Summerside has long presented a compelling case for business investment. What it has not done is tell everybody about it... until now.
