Mr. Speaker, Laval has a new, private, six million square foot industrial park.
Located with full access to the metropolitan road system, between highways 13 and 15, “Impact 440” augurs well for the people of Laval.
The president of the industrial park, Pierre Grothé, and his associate, Valmont Nadon, estimate that over the next three years the park will attract 75 businesses and generate investments approaching $150 million. When fully developed, the park's businesses are expected to provide employment for 3,000.
Already, four companies have acquired a total of one million square feet and confirmed an investment of $25 million. The industrial park also expects to offer a diversified inventory of buildings.
The new industrial park is a fine example of the innovative spirit which characterizes the economy of the entire Laval area.
