2 Grand Bay-Westfield At A Glance Important Facts & Figures The Town of Grand Bay-Westfield, incorporated in 1998, is comprised of the former Town of Grand Bay and the former Village of Westfield. Grand Bay-Westfield is located in southwestern New Brunswick along the River Valley Scenic Drive, one of the provincially designated scenic routes, and is home to a community of 5117 residents. As the gateway to the Lower St. John River Valley area, Grand Bay-Westfield acts as a service centre to several small and rural communities with a local market in excess of 7,800 consumers. Grand Bay-Westfield has access to the provincial highway system on Rte 177 and Rte 7, placing residents minutes away from either Saint John or Fredericton. This unique location offers an advantage to local businesses for access to larger urban consumer markets, and a wide pool of potential employees, suppliers, business and government services. World class sports, entertainment, cultural facilities are but a short drive away. We understand the importance of growing a community based on responsible development. Our vision is sustained by engaged residents, reinforced by the strong planning policies and goals set out in our Municipal Plan. Mayor Grace Losier, Grand Bay-Westfield 15:envdev:town profile Page 2 of 10
3 Location Advantage Recognized as the industrial and commercial center of New Brunswick, the Fundy Region has a proud heritage of entrepreneurship. Bridging the markets of the northeastern United States, the Maritimes, western Europe, Quebec, and Ontario, the Region is home to many established businesses. Its unique strategic advantages are allowing the Fundy Region to attract new attention as the preferred location for expanding national and multinational firms. Close Proximity to Urban Centers Grand Bay-Westfield offers the best of urban and rural New Brunswick, encompassing both an active local business community and access to larger local and regional markets. Minutes away from uptown Saint John, Grand Bay-Westfield has fast and convenient access to a variety of business, personal, and government services. Grand Bay-Westfield is located near the junction of provincial highways Rte 1 and Rte 7, giving the Town easy access to the Province s three largest cities, Saint John, Moncton, and Fredericton. In addition, Grand Bay-Westfield acts as the commercial service center to the rural and small communities of the lower St. John River Valley, a local market of more than 7,800 consumers. Rapid local growth is encouraging entrepreneurs to satisfy demands for a wide range of business and personal services. Proximity to Large Markets Part of the strategic location enjoyed by the business community in Grand Bay-Westfield is the proximity to large and affluent markets of the northeastern United States as well as our own Maritime market. With the American border a one hour drive away on recently upgraded highways, companies and businesses in Grand Bay-Westfield and area have access to the largest market of its kind in North America.
