What is JEDI?
The Joint Economic Development Initiative (JEDI) is a dynamic partnership between the City of Wetaskiwin, Town of Millet, and County of Wetaskiwin.  A history of successful working relationships and a strong desire to increase industrial development in the region and along the Highway 2 Edmonton - Calgary corridor lead to the JEDI partnership, established in 2003.

Since its inception, JEDI has been a "one-stop" industrial development agency, providing local industry and international site selectors with a wealth of information on the region, its strategic advantages, demographics, and cost-competitiveness.

 

Mission
The Joint Economic Development Initiative provides cooperative, proactive leadership in attracting sustainable growth and supporting a diverse industrial base while respecting the region's high quality of life and the environment.

Vision
The Joint Economic Development Initiative is an innovative regional partnership that fosters sustainable industrial growth.

"Supreme International Limited is a world class organization that serves customers in the Middle East, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, United Kingdom, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Russia, Mexico, Indonesia, Costa Rica, Hungary, and all across the USA and Canada from right here in the JEDI region.  By utilizing local trucking companies and the excellent highway network available in this region we are able to fill orders in a timely and cost effective manner and compete in the global marketplace.

 

The JEDI region's competitive advantages are among their greatest strengths.

 

In light of the Alberta labour demand, Supreme is fully staffed with almost 100 employees allowing optimal plant performance and productivity.  Our ability to attract a skilled work force is supported by the JEDI region's affordable, available housing and excellent quality of life."
