Arborg, Bifrost jump on the bus
ARBORG — The Arborg Bifrost Community Development Corporation (ABCDC) is stepping up its efforts to attract new residential and commercial development to the area.
First and foremost in its marketing plan is a brand new website that is set to launch on Sept. 13. The website, "growingarborg.com", will come on-board parallel to an aggressive ad campaign to be run in Winnipeg.
Pat McCallum, economic development officer for ABCDC, said the ad campaign will run for six weeks and feature 16 bus boards on Winnipeg transit buses. She said the campaign will be a run-up to a face-to-face meeting in early October with the Winnipeg business community. "Winnipeg businesses will be invited to a reception to highlight the benefits of Arborg," she said.

Home Hardware – a Story of Growth
Since 2008 sales at Arborg’s Home Building Centre (formerly Countryside Lumber) have increased by 67% and market studies indicate that there is potential to grow a further 75% in the next three years. Because of these results and what is seen as the area’s excellent potential, Countryside is becoming “Home Hardware Building Centre” and is expanding to 10,000 square feet from the existing 1,500 square foot facility.
The Arborg-Bifrost Community Development Corporation is working with Home Hardware to help make this major expansion a reality.
