Fort Erie: Open for Business!

Fort Erie, the Gateway to Ontario is open for business!

Fort Erie offers a business-friendly atmosphere where commercial/retail and manufacturing firms can grow into the future.

Fort Erie's location is its greatest strategic advantage - more than 55 per cent of the entire population of the United States and 62 per cent of the Canadian population is within a 500-mile radius of Fort Erie.

Already home to several world-class companies, Fort Erie is a thriving community located at the mouth of the Niagara River, directly across from Buffalo, N.Y. Fort Erie offers excellent transportation routes and unbeatable proximity to major Canadian and US markets.

The Peace Bridge allows easy access to Buffalo and the eastern United States - approximately 20 per cent of all the commodities traded between Canada and the U.S. pass through Fort Erie via the Peace Bridge. In addition to being a transportation link, the Peace Bridge is also a main conduit for the fibre optic infrastructure that joins the two countries.

Whether it's rail, water, air or land transportation that your business requires, Fort Erie is close to it all.

Look no further than Fort Erie for;

• Location (Gateway to Niagara & Eastern U.S.);
• Skilled and educated workforce;
• Competitive development costs;
• Low operating costs;
• Modern infrastructure; and,
• Selection of properties.

With a Municipal Council and professional staff focused on positive economic growth and development, the town of Fort Erie, and the businesses that call it home, are poised to continue to prosper into the future.
