This week on Thunder Bay Votes: The issues that matter, we ask, is Thunder Bay open for business?
The co-owner of a local craft brewery feels it’s important to make sure city procedures don’t get in the way of businesses’ success.
Matt Pearson says the city could also benefit from being more pro-active in how it deals with businesses and would like to see a council that will identify “entrepreneur-ism” as a real opportunity for growth.
He believes there are some factors the city can control to make it easier for businesses to get started.
The brewery official adds we can take cues from other cities who work closely with business owners where a city employee is assigned to help open your business.
