# Growth Desk source note — grant-ready project shelf (2026-08-27)

Angle selected: Greenwood should keep a ten-item grant-ready / partner-ready project shelf before the next intake window, funder call or investor inquiry appears.

Editorial status: publishable Growth Desk proposal / readiness checklist. This is not an official City plan, not a grant application, not a budget approval, not a claim that any project is funded, and not a statement that Greenwood has confirmed infrastructure, zoning, water/sewer, staff or maintenance capacity for any listed idea.

- B.C. economic development resources — HTTP 200, title `Economic development - Province of British Columbia` — used for the broad point that the province points communities to funding, tools, resources, best practices and services for economic goals across urban/rural and large/small communities.
- B.C. Economic Development Services — HTTP 200, title `Economic Development Services - Province of British Columbia` — used for explicit support categories: diversification and strategic planning, funding-program wayfinding, business retention and expansion, land development, investment attraction, investor tours, sector development and partnerships.
- Destination BC destination development — HTTP 200, title `Destination Development - Destination BC - Destination BC` — used for the principle that visitor-economy work depends on experiences, infrastructure, services and partners, not only marketing copy.

## Human follow-up needed

Ask Chris/local partners for a first contact list: City infrastructure/admin contact, Community Futures Boundary contact, accommodation/visitor-services contact, museum/heritage contact, trail/recreation contact, property or realtor lead, school/family-services contact, a local contractor who can sanity-check rough costs, and any current public project list or capital-plan notes Greenwood is already using.
