A 700-acre industrial park could be coming to Winnipeg.
The project in CentrePort South, known as Catalyst Park, may be the largest industrial development ever proposed in Winnipeg.
Mayor Scott Gillingham welcomed an application Tuesday by Winnipeg’s Jessiman family.
“This is a big step forward for Winnipeg’s Sky Economy, bringing a high-growth investment opportunity to CentrePort South,” said Gillingham. “We are already seeing interest from the aerospace sector in locating at this new site if it’s approved.”
The city also says the site could support air-freight firms.
There’s no word yet on when construction could begin.
The City of Winnipeg says Gillingham has written to members of the Assiniboia Community Committee to say he believes the city has a strategic economic interest in the success of the project.
“As mayor, I want to see CentrePort South reach its full job-creation potential,” said Gillingham. “That means working proactively with all stakeholders to remove barriers where we can, while respecting the public approval process.”
