McGuinty Government Investing In Infrastructure To Attract New Businesses
Municipal services have been extended in the Emo Industrial Park to promote the growth of local industry and agriculture.
With support from the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation (NOHFC), the park can now provide water, sewer, and electricity services to future industrial tenants. This will help boost local economic development and job creation.
The park's first tenant, a community-owned abattoir, recently opened. The facility is being used by livestock producers of a various species including cattle, sheep, hogs, elk and bison. This is providing opportunities for value-added agricultural production in the area.
