The Georgian Triangle

One of the driving forces behind Meaford's economy and appeals is its proximity to the three of the most popular tourist spots in the area of Georgian Bay which form the Georgian Triangle of Tourism:

• The Blue Mountains – a ski destination during winters in the region (20 minutes)
• Collingwood – A four season tourist area (25 minutes)
• Wasaga Beach – the longest fresh water beach in North America (40 minutes)
• Barrie – one of the fastest growing urban areas in Canada (75 minutes)

All these surrounding areas have experienced tremendous developments in the past few years with prime estates and residential communities being built throughout the region.

In the next few years, Meaford will be focusing on the following four key areas that will boost the economic growth of the town, increasing both the population and job creation.

Agribusiness
Known as the Apple Capital of Ontario, Meaford is famous for its sweet apples that are grown in the 2,000 acres of apple orchard in town. In addition to this, Meaford also has local wineries.

Tourism
Aside from the shores of Georgian Bay, a portion of Bruce Trail (one of the most popular hiking trails in Niagara Escarpment) is also accessible from Meaford, which draws thousands of tourists annually. As an old town rich in history, Meaford also aspires to be known as a cultural tourist destination by 2015.

Retail
With the influx in the number of visitors, Meaford expects a boost in retail business, particularly in the waterfront area.

Green Business
By 2015, the municipality aims to be a high-tech incubator for this thriving industry.

The project management company in Toronto is working closely with the local officials of Meaford to maximize the potential value of the property and; at the same time, it incorporates the needs of the community as one of the factors in the concept planning.
