A Bruce County staffer has been tapped as a rising star in the economic development industry by a pair of US firms.
Jeff Loney is the a recipient of the 2025 Economic Development 40 Under 40 Award.
The award, hosted by Development Counsellors International (DCI) and Jorgenson Pace, celebrates economic development’s top individuals under 40 years of age who demonstrate strong leadership, commitment and innovation in the workplace every day.
Bruce County Warden Luke Charbonneau said Loney was very deserving of the honour.
"We are incredibly proud of Jeff’s accomplishments as our Economic Development Manager," said Charbonneau. "This award recognizes Jeff’s dedication to the field of economic development, and Bruce County. Through his work stewarding Bruce County’s Economic Development Strategic Plan Jeff has profiled our County on both a North American and International Stage."
The 40 Under 40 Awards are handed out every two years. This year’s winners were celebrated on February 23 at the International Economic Development Council Leadership Summit.
