Testimonials

The CDC....."working with individuals, businesses and community partners to create and maintain jobs and build healthy sustainable communities."


“The CDC played a central role in the successful transfer of the Airport from a federal organization to a local, privately-owned corporation. The CDC provided expertise in addition to administrative and financial support, over an almost 2-year period, to develop a business plan that led to the formation of the corporation that is vital to Sault Ste. Marie.”
Jerry Dolcetti, Sault Airport Development Corporation
