City of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan
The City of Prince Albert is a vibrant community of 36,000 residents located in the heartland of northern Saskatchewan. While the area is already home to a wide range of amenities as well as stunning natural scenery and outdoor recreation, local leaders are working hard to create even more opportunities for both business and pleasure.
City of Belleville, Illinois
As the state’s largest city south of Springfield, Belleville boasts the tagline ‘Capital of Southern Illinois.’ The community of 41,000 enjoys the charm of a small town with the advantages of a larger metro area. St. Louis is just 20 minutes away by MetroLink, which runs through Belleville to conveniently connect residents with nearby amenities. This enviable location, in addition to the amenities offered within Belleville itself, differentiates the city from similarly sized communities. After detailing these advantages in 2015, Business in Focus checked back in this year to learn about the progress that the city has made over the last decade.
