Can CentrePort Canada Become The Center of North American Trade?
In an interview with Business Review Canada, Dianne Grey, President and CEO of CentrePort Canada discusses the background and future developments of Canada’s first foreign trade zone. Located next to the James Armstrong Richardson International Airport, CentrePort is ideal for business operations seeking a wide range of greenfield investment opportunities.
“We have many transportation assets and a very significant geographic advantage, which allowed policy makers and business leaders to come together to develop a vision of how we capitalize on those two components to attract interest and investment by the types of companies who manage their bottom line through strong supply chain activities,” says Dianne Grey, President and CEO of CentrePort Canada.
CentrePort takes advantage of Winnipeg’s prime trading location between two rivers and three rail lines. The area has traditionally been a hub for trade between Canada and the United States; CentrePort seeks to make it the trading center of all of North America.
CentrePort Canada is North America’s new 20,000-acre inland port that has been designated Canada’s first Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ). CentrePort Canada is strategically located in the central time zone in the heart of North America. It boasts a modern, well-established network of highways, railways, air and sea connections to important regional and international markets, including eastern and western Canada, the United States, Mexico and Latin America, as well as Europe and Asia.
