Economic Development Strategy

The Township of Georgian Bay's Economic Development Strategy builds on our Strategic Plan. Our strategy includes community sustainability, recognizes the interests of seasonal and permanent residents, and addresses the very different economic development priorities in the municipality's three main population centres.

See our Media Release from April 15, 2019 and our information sheet released September 2019.

The strategy focuses on maximizing the economic contribution of the thousands of visitors drawn to Georgian Bay Islands National Park without compromising the community's natural assets. We want to better serve our seasonal population with water-access homes that use Honey Harbour as their base. This includes our Honey Harbour Waterfront Development Plan.

Updated Dock Drawings can be found here as approved by the Community Advisory Group.

Port Severn commercial corridor supports the travelling public. Highway 400 exit 156 is a great location for businesses looking for highway exposure and to meet the needs of those travelling along the 400.

MacTier is an inspiring example of a rural community that thrives on sustainable businesses in the community. Minutes off Highway 400 from exit 189, MacTier has a one-stop-shop approach to community wellness and economic opportunities. Small businesses that serve families and the seasonal community do well in MacTier.
