Message from Mayor Sandra Easton
The residents and businesses in the Town of Lincoln have risen to the occasion over the past two years. Challenges have been faced individually, professionally, and as a community in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The strength, cooperation, and grace that I have witnessed in Lincoln are encouraging and inspiring. Collectively building resilience as a community has led us to sustained growth and economic prosperity as we continue the road to recovery.
In 2021, the Town’s economic development program was in full force. We remain focused on supporting the local business community, on skills development and training, and on growing the local tourism industry through the recently adopted Niagara Benchlands brand. Tourism and the related value-added agricultural business unique to Lincoln are significant drivers of the local economy, evident in the large concentration of local beverage manufacturing jobs compared to the rest of Ontario.
