What's New

Essex CFDC/SADC is happy to announce that the Windsor-Essex Small Business Centre's Satellite Office, formerly located in Kingsville, is now located in our offices.  The purpose of this co-location is to strengthen the support available to the small business owner in one central location in the heart of Essex County.

During the 2007 update of the Essex CFDC Strategic Plan, it was noted that many other organizations were also re-evaluating their own roles and strategies in the region. Consequently, the CFDC created a Resource Information Strategy for the community, developed by WCM Consulting Inc., to assist organizations in the development of their own plans.

In collaboration with the Centre for Smart Community Innovation at the University of Windsor, a resource tool was also developed for ongoing planning.  Activities and reports can be viewed at or added to together.windsor-essex.info
