Municipally-Owned Vacant Land For Development

The Township of North Glengarry owns more than 120 acres of prime serviced land on the western edge of Alexandria. This large parcel is currently zoned for a mix of industrial and residential use and can be customized to suit most business opportunities.

Plans are underway to prepare the lots for development with a number of adaptable parcels that would allow both smaller incubation-style businesses and larger industrial or commercial establishments.

Preliminary plans are available at the Township which has a state of the art GIS system that can rapidly plot and print custom maps for potential investors.
