Business Opportunity Intake Form

WFN is committed to economic development opportunities that align with our values, respect our land, and benefit our people. We invite potential partners to share their business ideas through this intake form. All applications will be reviewed carefully to ensure they are a good fit for our community.

What to Expect

Submissions go through a multi-stage review process, which often includes:

Initial Intake & Evaluation
Council Committee Review
Staff Due Diligence
Community and Economic Development Commission Review
Referendum (if required)
Final Approval & Agreement

Timelines vary by project but typically take 3-6 months, depending on the complexity of the proposal and the information provided. Incomplete applications may experience delays.

If the request involves community-held lands, a referendum is required, extending the timeline to an average of 12 months.

We appreciate your understanding and respect for our due diligence, processes, and timeframes as we work to ensure responsible and meaningful economic development.
