I would say this can be done more at the regional level, because each region faces its own challenges. The municipality or regional county municipality is best positioned to be the first point of contact with the business, because it knows its territory.
Most economic development challenges extend beyond the boundaries of a single municipality, particularly labour markets, economic sectors, and mechanisms for attracting and retaining workers and investment. So it would take someone who thinks in terms of the region, and that's where the gaps lie.
