We’re here to help
We think Cornwall is a great place to do business, but we don’t expect you to do all the legwork yourself.
Cornwall Economic Development is the primary contact for individuals and companies looking for information on Cornwall. It is our job to help you find the information you need to make an informed decision, and that includes examining available real estate options.
Finding the Right Site
Site selection is the process of identifying optimal locations for business investment. This can include storefront retail locations, existing industrial buildings, or even land for a future industrial development or infrastructure project. It involves evaluating factors like zoning, transportation linkages, utility capacity, and other factors to enhance competitive advantage.
Cornwall Economic Development can help identify a short list of available sites that makes sense for your project. Utilizing the City’s GIS mapping system, and the Department’s own property database, we can examine key site selection elements including:
- Site Availability: Land size, building size, egress/ingress, ownership, current zoning and environmental conditions.
- Infrastructure: Utility connections such as municipal water/wastewater, electricity, natural gas and telecommunications.
- Logistics: Proximity to suppliers, markets, and transportation networks (highways, rail, airports).
- Workforce & Demographics: Availability of skilled labor, local population demographics, and training opportunities.
- Costs & Incentives: Local taxes, development charges, and potential financial support programs.
Connections
We invite you to visit the City and let us show you various commercial real estate properties that are for sale or lease. We can help set up meetings for you with key community stakeholders, and if you are an entrepreneur considering establishing a small business, our Cornwall Business Enterprise Centre is set up to personally guide you through the entire process.
We are happy to send you a complete information package on doing business in the City of Cornwall.
