Barrie's Business Community
With 300 new businesses coming to Park Place, existing Barrie businesses can count on a tremendous economic spin-off.
- During the construction phase, Park Place will hire local contractors, rely on local service providers and purchase local products.
- Once the more than 300 new businesses are on site, they will rely on existing local businesses to provide products and services.
- The more than 5,000 new jobs created will give residents more dollars to spend throughout the entire community.
- Existing businesses will benefit from the increased tourism.
Barrie’s existing business community will reap financial benefits from this significant development.
“I believe it will draw people from the highway into our downtown core.”
