Kenaston Community Business Plan
2011 to 2014

The Chamber has continued to recognize the community business plan as a valuable guideline to village and chamber projects including tourism, beautification, community spirit as well as marketing and promotion of Kenaston.

The key strategies fall under the 4 goals:

• Maintaining an Economic Development Focus
• Expand Tourism Opportunities
• Foster Community Spirit
• Enhance the Community's Image through Beautification

One of the projects added to this business plan period is to "Initiate a beautification project at the Skating Rink to revitalize and visually enhance this area, and add a focal point for community information and signage close to the highway." Community volunteers will be needed to see this vision through so please watch for notices and updates in the months ahead.

The full document can be viewed on the Kenaston website under the community profile planning tab, and under the chamber tab. You may also pick up a copy from Susan Anholt.
