The purpose of the Employment Lands research project was to better understand the landscape of wealth generating lands in the Columbia Basin-­Boundary region of BC.  An integrated economic development-­geospatial lands analysis was undertaken to better understand opportunities and constraints related to 'employment lands' in the region.   With an improved regional-­level understanding of the 'employment lands' landscape, the region will be in a better position to attract and retain business and investment.   This research also supports informed land use planning.
