Within the Bio-Industrial Park there are several sites available for the development of new manufacturing with access to existing pipeline infrastructure as well as steam and market access via rail and marine.
The Park’s western boundary is the St. Clair River, with a deep water dock facility that provides access, through the St. Lawrence Seaway, to ships on the Great Lakes system and international oceanic cargo. The site is also serviced with rail service from CSX rail and interswitch to CN Rail which connect to markets in Canada and the U.S. via the St. Clair Rail Tunnel.
