Economic Environment

The Acton region:  The HUB for innovative business in rural areas.

Establishing your business in the Acton region is an excellent choice. Its proximity to Greater Montreal and its shared borders with medium-sized cities such as Beloeil, Bromont, Drummondville, Granby, Saint-Hyacinthe and Sherbrooke make it a highly desirable geographical location. At the crossroads of provincial routes 116 and 139, it is also close to Highways 10, 20 and 55 and less than one hour from the Pierre-Elliott Trudeau Airport and the Port of Montreal. The Acton region is at the heart of several of the largest cities in northern North America. Located near the American cities and towns in the Great Lakes region, the city of Acton is the centre of a pool of more than 100 millions consumers.



The Acton region is already host to several large businesses and SMEs operating in diverse industries in the Acton Vale and Roxton Falls industrial zones and parks.

Development space is available at a lower cost and quality labour is right at hand.

What’s more, socio-economic stakeholders in the community are very proactive. In 2006, they created the ProAction Board. The Board established an economic development and deployment plan for the next 10 years, which laid out priority strategic development trajectories. The responsibilities to implement projects within each of these trajectories were divided amongst the various development organizations in the region. Within just three years of activity, major projects have already come to fruition.

The advantages of a small region: the availability of economic development professionals and partners who can assist you from the creation your business project to its realization and who make prompt and coherent business decisions.

Immerse yourself in our region; take the time to appreciate all its economic and geographical benefits, its featured industries and its development potential. Be among those who keep the odds in their favour: choose the most conducive environment to develop your business projects.
