It may be a case of bureaucracy moving slower than the speed of business.

British Columbia-based based wooden utensil manufacturer Aspenware, the new anchor tenant for the City of Dryden’s Norwill Subdivision, told a regional newspaper this past week that plans to build a 50,000 square foot facility in Dryden in the fall of 2010 are being pushed back pending provincial government approval for loan guarantees and fibre supply.

The City of Dryden has made site preparation for the North Dryden industrial development a top priority in 2010.

In September of 2009, The City of Dryden received close to $3 million in provincial and Fednor funds to assist in the development of their Norwill and Centennial Business Park projects, just north of the Trans-Canada.
