Consultation has concluded.

Project background

The overall purpose of the Employment Lands Strategy is to ensure that the City of Niagara Falls has an adequate supply of designated, serviced and marketable industrial land in appropriate locations to accommodate current and future forecasted employment growth and remain competitive.

An evaluation of the current supply and determination of the supply needed to meet future demand is critical to attract and retain businesses for the next 25 years. It is also important to ensure that the existing supply of employment land is protected from external changes that may negatively impact their viability.

It is anticipated that the final study will contain a comprehensive list of short, medium and long term action items to help manage and develop Niagara Falls’ industrial land supply.
