Economic Development

Picture an attractive, progressive Canadian community on the same latitude as Rome and Northern California. Then imagine a community which is one of the fastest growing in Canada, with an ever increasing population (7,000 in the past seven years, from 28,000 to nearly 35,000) and with earnings per person which are among the highest in the nation. This is the Town of Lakeshore, Ontario. As a prominent part of the Windsor Essex County region, Lakeshore is, in fact, south of all or part of 14 of the 48 continental United States of America and south of 50 million citizens of the USA.

Located on the shoreline of Lake St. Clair in the Great Lakes chain, Lakeshore is just 20 kilometers (12 miles) from the border with the United States at Detroit.

Even more than this, we are within one day’s travel of half the population of North America, and with our transport and communications links, Lakeshore is an unparalleled hub for access to major Canadian and American markets.

Our region has been a manufacturing centre since the 19th Century. This has resulted in a   highly skilled work force with experienced and forward looking investment and managerial personalities, as well as precedent setting post secondary educational opportunities……yet   Lakeshore prides itself on being one of the least expensive industrial property tax areas in the   Province of Ontario.

Welcome to Lakeshore, Ontario, Canada: one of the finest industrial, residential, commercial and social values in North America!
