The City and RM of Dauphin have partnered to try and grow the area economy, and the most recent effort comes in the rejuvenation of an old project.
The Dauphin Business Park, formerly known as the Industrial Park, presents a great opportunity for a variety of new businesses to come into the area says Economic Development Manager Martijn van Luijn.
"It is industrially zoned, but it does allow for a variety of other uses, we could call it commercial uses, as well. So the Business Park sounds more modern and all-encompassing."
The park is located off Highway 362, just north of the City says van Luijn, and it has 123 acres of affordable land ready to develop.
"Everybody wants new business, everybody wants more industry, we've been hearing that all over and I agree, so this is one of the ways we can do that. We're offering this land at a very attractive rate. We've done some research in Western Manitoba on what land prices are and we're offering the land at a far lower price than that. We're selling it for $20,000 an acre."
Aside from the competitive price of land, van Luijn says there are some development and tax incentives available as well.
"We also have a pretty strong incentive package, and of course, it all depends on what kind of business comes into it and how many jobs it creates, if it's something new, or if it's something that compliments something else, we will try to do what we can to make sure that if somebodies interested, or has a really good proposal, we're going to try to find a spot for them in the business park."
