An In-Place, Inexpensive Supply Chain Creates Efficient Ways to Get Products to Large Nearby Markets
The
Prescott and Russell Economic Development and Tourism (PREDT)
Department ensures that businesses in Prescott and Russell enjoy the
advantage of the region’s already established supply chain, consisting
of numerous options for transportation and inexpensive facilities (e.g.
business parks) for affordable, effective warehousing in close proximity
to Canada’s fastest, high volume, high speed 400 series highways giving
any company immediate fast access to multiple large markets.
Goods
from the region can be moved quickly across Canada, into the USA and
Mexico and overseas through the region’s proximity to:
-
The Ontario-Quebec interprovincial bridge
-
CN Rail line
-
Two international airports (P-E Trudeau International, Macdonald-Cartier International)
-
One international cargo airport (Mirabel, also a research and development hub)
-
One international port (Port of Montreal)
-
US bridge within 100 km
Thanks
to these transportation options, large stores like Costco can source
locally and buy in quantities large enough to sustain producers.
To support Prescott and Russell’s rich and established history of agriculture, its vibrant food processing industry, and its manufacturing facilities, specialty shipping options exist in the region: refrigerated
trucks for fresh and preservative-free goods, and hazardous material
vehicles for fertilizers, chemicals and biofuels.
Bilingual skilled
staff are readily available in the region, and local truck drivers
receive training through Hawkesbury’s Canadian Trucking Academy.
