Lara Giddings ~ PremierThe Premier, Lara Giddings, today announced that the Huon Valley region would be added as a pilot site for the Ernesto Sirolli economic development model.
Ms Giddings said the extension of the trial had been made possible by George Town and Scottsdale agreeing to partner on the project.
"The decision to pool resources for the North East roll-out has made it possible to bring the benefits of Dr Ernesto Sirolli's innovative approach to economic development to the Huon Valley region,including Geeveston," Ms Giddings said.
"Like the other towns identified for the pilot of this project, the Huon Valley region has been hard-hit by the down-turn in the forest industry.
"Dr Sirolli has already been working in Smithton, George Town and Scottsdale to identify new business opportunities with an emphasis on creating more jobs.
"We are currently working with the Huon Valley Council to convene a local community forum in the coming days to introduce Dr Sirolli to the people of the Huon Valley.
