Ag centre moves forward

Plans to develop an agricultural innovation centre in Summerland are moving ahead, thanks to a recent feasibility study that found overwhelming support for the concept.

The idea, which is being pushed by the Summerland Chamber of Commerce, is to create a centre that would help young businesses and entrepreneurs in the agriculture and agri-tech industries launch their products.

More than 90 per cent of the people surveyed thought the agricultural innovation centre was a good idea, and just as many thought Summerland — which sits in the geographical middle of much of the agricultural industry in the region — is the perfect place for it.

For more on the proposed centre, and what it would cost to launch, check out the full story on Castanet's sister business news website, Okanagan Edge.
