Year in Review 2020: Point Roberts Independent Business Council

In March 2020, the PRIBC commissioned and published the Point Roberts Economic Profile via a collaboration with Western Washington University’s Center for Economic and Business Research.

In November 2020, the PRIBC published its 2020 Point Roberts comprehensive economic/governance report, which the Border Policy Research Institute at WWU reviewed and subsequently submitted a letter of support to the PRCAC.

The PRIBC continues to be an active community participant online via its website/blog at pribc.org, as well as via regular attendance at Whatcom County Council and PRCAC Zoom meetings.

In January 2021, the PRIBC will launch PRVision2021, a collaborative community collective designed to address local governance and economic well-being. The PRIBC wishes to convey to the community of Point Roberts that we have your back, even in the toughest of times.

We encourage all stakeholders to come together, set aside your differences and collaborate collectively to establish accountable governance and economic well-being for all of Point Roberts. Twitter: @pointrobertsibc”
