Efforts to meet the needs of existing businesses are paying off, according to Vernon's mayor. Wayne Lippert says that's been a focus of a committee led by the city's economic development manager Kevin Poole. He says "We sat down with Kevin, we took the tack of looking at
business that are here and looking to see what challenges they were
having so we could make sure we were keeping them here and help them
expand here." Lippert says they're also trying to prevent big holes in the downtown core. He is pleased to hear Shoppers Drug Mart has plan to expand when City
Furniture makes its move to Anderson Way in the next few weeks.
