The region that was once mainly known for its world wonder of a waterfall is attracting a different kind of attention of late. Yes, millions of tourists still arrive each year to play, but a growing number of families and businesses are discovering that there are just as many reasons to stay.<\/p>\n

Perfectly positioned between the U.S. Northeast and the Greater Toronto Area, Niagara offers businesses some serious strategic advantages. While our physical location in the heart of one of North America\u2019s busiest economic trade corridors is key, there\u2019s so much more to Niagara\u2019s business story.<\/p>\n

Half of North America\u2019s population is located within a one-day drive, Niagara is an ideal location to easily connect with customers and suppliers. While there are over 100 border crossings between the US and Canada, goods that crossed the five crossings located in Niagara in 2016 accounted for 14.1% of all goods traded between the two countries.<\/p>\n

$100 billion worth of Canada\/Us trade flows through the region each year.<\/p>\n
