Lunenburg and Queens Counties boast numerous thriving industrial nodes and manufacturing parks ready to accommodate manufacturing facilities, warehousing, light industry...or whatever your plan. Our communities have active and thriving business districts from King Street in Bridgewater to Main Street in Liverpool where retail and service sector operations can take their place in the community.

From our start by the sea and its related industries, we have diversified our economy so that it now supports a thriving combination of service-based, manufacturing, tourism and resource-based enterprises, as well as a diversified fishery that includes experimental fisheries such as silver hake and increased focus on the aquaculture and the shellfish fishery.

Our forestry industry has won us recognition as the Forestry Capital of Canada and our Christmas trees are known and appreciated world-wide. Our trees are often chosen to be presented to the people of Boston in thanks for their help to Nova Scotian's who suffered in the 1917 explosion in Halifax Harbour.

World class high tech, aerospace and marine industries are growing and thriving here because of our combination of skilled people, access to the right markets, and community commitment to develop opportunities in these industries and services.

Manufacturing is also a growing sector. Our manufacturers rely on the excellent transportation connections provided by our proximity to two airports, the Halifax International Airport and the South Shore Regional Airport, serving smaller carriers.

On any given day, the highway connecting Lunenburg Queens to Halifax and worldwide markets is busy with trucks full of tires, Christmas trees, newsprint, surgical gloves, processed fish and exterior siding. In 45 minutes to an hour, goods can be trucked from points along Highway 103 in Queens and Lunenburg counties to ports in Liverpool, Bridgewater, Lunenburg and Halifax, and to ferry service from Yarmouth to Maine and from Digby to Saint John. New Brunswick Air connections are less than an hour away at the South Shore Regional Airport, which serves small traffic. Halifax International Airport is 75-100 km away from major points in Lunenburg Queens.
