The Dryden Development Corporation is committed to developing the region's natural and economic assets to stimulate growth and employment. With the need for diversification, revitalization and redevelopment in mind, the community has embarked on a sustainable waterfront development plan to address the local economy that has the potential to attract major investment and create job opportunities.
Dryden’s Sustainable Waterfront Development Plan, a community-supported initiative, offers opportunities growth and diversification in the Tourism sector. Comprised of a total of 125 acres at the south end of Van Horne Ave, this significant waterfront property on the northern shores of Wabigoon Lake is virtually untouched. The parcel includes private lands, protected wetlands, undeveloped municipal lands and surplus crown lands. This project is unique to rural Canada. Once a self-sustaining model (engineering wet lands, underground heat pump and solar panel systems) is developed, not only can other rural municipalities benefit from the project but the City could also apply any green technology solutions in other areas in the municipality proper. Alternative methods of providing municipal service have not previously been examined versus traditional methods of infrastructure (bio-swales for storm water management and retention, local area waste water disposal with marsh filtration, potable water utilization reduction strategies, dual water systems using lake water).
The Dryden Development Corporation provides SuperHost Training for Volunteers and is working with the City of Dryden businesses to become certified as a SuperHost Community through the delivery of Service Excellence Training. If you are looking for a tour of our community or want to speak with other businesses that pertain to your business we can help!
