Cornwall has emerged as one of Eastern Ontario’s most compelling locations for business investment, thanks to a combination of affordability, strategic positioning, and a steadily growing economic base. For companies seeking room to expand, Cornwall offers a rare combination of available industrial and commercial space, competitive operating costs, and a supportive business environment that makes it easier to start, scale, and sustain long-term success.
As I learned more about Cornwall writing for this special report, there were plenty of benefits our local panelists highlighted – and one they all agreed on was its location. Cornwall provides businesses with efficient access to suppliers and customers across Ontario, Quebec, and the northeastern United States via land and water. The city’s modern logistics infrastructure, including a well-connected transportation network and a growing distribution sector, positions Cornwall as a natural hub for companies that rely on speed, reliability, and cross-
border reach.
Cornwall’s workforce adds another advantage. With training programs delivered through St. Lawrence College and partnerships across local
industries, employers benefit from a steady pipeline of skilled talent, including many bilingual workers, in fields ranging from logistics and manufacturing to health care and technology. For forward-thinking investors, Cornwall presents a compelling value proposition.
The city is growing, its business landscape is diversifying, and its commitment to sustainable, long-term economic development continues to open new doors for companies ready to make their mark. Don’t take my word for it. Check out this Executive Report on Cornwall and maybe we’ll see you and your company in a future edition!
Sincerely,
Phil Gaudreau,
Editor of the Executive Report on Cornwall
