Dan Taylor, Economic Development Officer, Prince Edward County

Dan TaylorDan Taylor is a self-confessed Creative Economy Geek.

After becoming the Economic Development Officer for Prince Edward County in 2001, Dan realized that he was working in a Creative (Rural) Economy, before he was aware of the language or the concept.

Since learning about the language, tools and theory, Dan became a practical researcher, student, disciple and teacher of the practice of Creative Economy Development. As a result, Prince Edward County’s economy has grown at a greater rate than that of Ontario and Canada.

Dan’s passion on the subject has driven him to collaborate with and lead a three-region Creative Economy Data Analysis and Economic Development Action Plan for Eastern Ontario, Durham Region and Southwestern Ontario.

As a result of this collaboration, Dan is expecting to be part of the formation of a new Ontario-based Creative Economy Alliance.
