Industrial Land Review Survey

Norfolk County is exploring whether we should take a more active role in preparing industrial land for businesses, potentially working with the proposed Municipal Development Corporation (MDC) and through public-private partnerships.

How would it work?

We’re conducting a comprehensive review of our industrial areas to understand:

  • Whether we have sufficient and appropriate land available for new investments and expansions
  • What infrastructure improvements (roads, water, electricity) are needed
  • How we can better attract companies to invest in our community

What does this mean for residents? 

Better industrial land development could bring more businesses and jobs to Norfolk County. This initiative would require County investment but could lead to increased employment opportunities and economic growth in our community.

This short (5-minute) survey is intended to collect important insights that will inform the opportunities surrounding Norfolk County’s industrial land potential. Please take a few minutes to share your perspectives on this potential economic development tool.
