The Sarnia-Lambton area has been recognized among a group of 20 regions
as one of “Canada’s Best Locations” by Site Selection Magazine.
This is the fifth time the Lambton has been recognized as Canada’s Best Locations.
The region is celebrated as a top choice for site selection based
on significant investment and facility expansions at existing companies as well as new company arrivals including large active investments by
NOVA Chemicals and Origin Materials, Diageo distillery, and the Enbridge Gas expansion.
“This acknowledgement is a high-profile endorsement of the region’s successes, that can be leveraged to build the global profile of the Sarnia-Lambton area,” said Dan Taylor the CEO of the Sarnia Lambton Economic Partnership adding it will “strengthen the investment pipeline and support economic growth.”
Site Selection Magazine is the most widely read publication serving the world of corporate expansion.
