Campbell Heights North
One of SCDC’s early and ongoing initiatives is the development of the industrial lands in Campbell Heights North, located
in the southeastern end of the city. These lands are well positioned to major transportation routes and the US Border. This development involved the master planning, rezoning, subdivision and servicing of approximately 250 acres of much needed new industrial lands. The development has attracted and supported the growth of many of Surrey’s most successful companies, including Garaventa, Weir Canada and Starline Windows, the City’s largest private sector employer.
The economic importance of this development to both the City and the region as a whole cannot be overstated. This development has meaningfully grown the City’s industrial tax base and supported the growth of well-paid jobs for its citizens. Critical shortages of industrial land in the region has been identified as a major threat to our future by the Port of Vancouver amongst others, so increasing the supply of new industrial land as SCDC has done is hugely beneficial.
