Feds invest $6.4 million in Campbell Heights businesses<\/p>\n

The Government of Canada recently announced it\u2019s giving Surrey more than $8 million as part of \u201cregional tariff response initiative.\u201d The money is earmarked for Surrey businesses with $6.4 million of that going to two companies located in Campbell Heights.<\/p>\n
Scott Wheatley, executive director of the Cloverdale District Chamber of Commerce, said he\u2019s excited to see more money being spent in an area that needs a lot of infrastructure upgrades.<\/p>\n
The Cloverdale Chamber\u2019s district covers Campbell Heights, a region Wheatley says will soon be the economic engine driving Surrey and the Fraser Valley.<\/p>\n
\u201cCampbell Heights still has issues with power\u2014there isn\u2019t enough\u2014and lots of other infrastructure issues that need to be addressed,\u201d Wheatley told the Cloverdale Reporter. \u201cWe need the investment. So this money, for those businesses, is filling part of the overall need.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added the influx of cash is welcomed at a time of great uncertainty brought on by U.S. tariffs.<\/p>\n
Wheatley noted, over the past five years, some of the bigger problems facing Campbell Heights have been getting addressed \u201clittle by little\u201d in various ways.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s getting better and better,\u201d he said. \u201cHydro is starting to catch up\u2014that\u2019s the biggest part of it\u2014and new developments bring improved roads and therefore access.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said Nanak Foods has been desperate for infrastructure upgrades.<\/p>\n
As part of the funding influx, Nanak Foods will get $5.5 million to automate its production lines and warehouse operations, increase capacity, strengthen domestic food production, and support expansion into new international markets.\u201d<\/p>\n
PowerHouse Building Solutions is also getting some cash. They will receive $925,000 to automate their warehouse operations, diversify their supply chain, improve productivity, and prepare for expansion into the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n
Randeep Sarai, Member of Parliament for Surrey Centre, made the funding announcement last month. The funds were to help \u201ctariff-impacted businesses\u201d increase productivity, cut costs, build more resilient supply chains, and reach new markets.<\/p>\n
The other two businesses receiving funds are: AI Industries ($1,000,000), and MTC Solutions ($630,250).<\/p>\n
Wheatley noted another \u201chuge\u201d development that will help transform Campbell Heights into that economic engine is the South Campbell Heights Business Park.<\/p>\n
Beedie began construction on the one-million-plus square feet project last month. Located on 20th Avenue, the industrial development will eventually grow to 60-acres.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is just another building block turning Campbell Heights into an economic engine for the region,\u201d Wheatley added.<\/p>\n
He said it\u2019s going to take time\u2014because of all the economic uncertainty, including tariffs, threats of tariffs, current problems with global markets, and supply chain issues\u2014but he sees the area continue to move forward with small infrastructure upgrades.<\/p>\n
\u201cCampbell Heights is still not fully developed. And it won\u2019t be right away. The economy has to get better first.\u201d<\/p>\n
