BACKGROUND

The Lower Columbia Community Development Team Society (LCCDTS) is the result of a
partnership between the City of Rossland, City of Trail, Village of Warfield, Village of Montrose,
Village of Fruitvale and electoral areas A & B of the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary),
created in 2009. The LCCDTS works to advance the social and economic strength in the Lower
Columbia region through committee work and oversees the development and cooperative
implementation of initiatives important to the area that address the needs identified within our
communities.
The LCCDTS works collaboratively with the communities in the Lower Columbia region, local
agencies, organizations and businesses to develop and implement strategies that will assist in
strengthening our local economy while identifying and pursuing new economic opportunities.
As the regional economic development agent that supports and drives growth and prosperity,
the LCCDTS is committed to a cohesive, comprehensive, region-wide approach to the challenges
and opportunities of economic development in the Lower Columbia region.
Capitalizing on the depth of resources available in the metals, recycling and technology sectors,
the LCCDTS developed an economic development marketing strategy aimed at attracting like
minded professionals, entrepreneurs and businesses to the region called “Metal Tech Alley”
under a now-obsolete organization called LCIC (http://lcic.ca)
This strategy included the creation of a website (http://metaltechalley.com/) which has a web
map showing information about various stakeholders (companies and organizations associated
with Metal Tech Alley). This map provides information about each organization such as a brief
Request for Proposals – METAL TECH ALLEY & LCCDTS website refresh
description, link to company website, contact details (phone number, email, address), and
broad categorization of each organization.
The goal of this project is to modernize both websites, improve user experience (UX), enhance
functionality, and ensure alignment with current branding and organizational objectives.
