The industrial/manufacturing sector in the Town of Collingwood, Ontario is a significant contributor to its economy. This paper discusses the sector's historical roots and assesses its current and projected growth to build a case for the proposed industrial land development policy. The author argues that in order for Collingwood to maintain its competitive position for industrial development within the Georgian Triangle Region the policy must be accepted. The paper reasons that addressing the current demand for serviced industrial land will not only strengthen the industrial sector through growth and retention of manufacturing/industry, but will also encourage new growth and opportunities for investment, due to Collingwood’s geographic location, available labour force and quality of life. Keywords : Industrial land development policy, Collingwood, manufacturing
