The Isthmus of Avalon Region - A Promising Industrial Hub on the Island of NL

Our region hosts two of the three large secondary manufacturing plants in all of Newfoundland and Labrador benefiting from downstream processing resulting from resource extraction.

In fact, the recent PERT report points to the Vale Nickel Processing Plant at Long Harbour as an example of a low-carbon producing plant in the mining and mineral production sector because of its use of hydroelectricity as its energy source.  Couple this with the potential represented by the world-class fabrication facility at Bull Arm, the transshipment facility at Whiffen Head, the ongoing economic impacts of the fish harvesting and processing, the expanding aquaculture industry, as well as the potential for LNG and Wind Energy developments, the Isthmus of Avalon Region of the Province promises to be a major net contributor to the Provincial GDP for some time.
