DIEPPE, NB – The City of Dieppe’s economic development corporation has been rebranded as Expansion Dieppe.
City officials say the name is simpler, easier to remember and is the same in English or French.
Mayor Yvon Lapierre says those are just some of the reasons for the change.
“Specifically we don’t do direct economic development in the traditional sense. It’s more about expansion and planning of land use and finding the appropriate balance in doing that,” notes Lapierre.
Expansion Dieppe will retain the same staff and board of directors.
Dieppe’s population has increased by 50 percent since 2001 and the tax base has tripled in 10 years.
