P.A. signs business license agreement with municipalities
Business owners in the Prince Albert region have less red tape to navigate thanks to an inter-municipal business license (IMBL) agreement signed this morning.
The agreement, a two-year pilot project between the City of P.A. and the towns of Shellbrook, Rosthern and Duck Lake, means licensed businesses can apply for an inter-municipal license, allowing them to operate legally in any of the signed municipalities.
John Guenther, P.A.’s director of planning and development services, said the IMBL agreement represents major progress for regional economic development. He estimated 50 to 60 businesses will see direct benefits from the IMBL agreement.
“The more we can work together on smaller things like this, the more we can work on bigger things too,” Guenther said. “It’s an easy win for the region.”
