Economic Development
Located 30 minutes from Sherbrooke, Victoriaville and Drummondville
Richmond's industrial park is a prime location for all companies, especially those looking to control their transportation costs.
In fact, Richmond has four truck transport companies and a railroad service allowing considerable gas saving opportunities.
The only intermodal rail yard in the area!
There are a dozen industrial motels in Richmond, the industrial development moves tirelessly through the intermodal rail yard that opened its doors in 2005. The rail yard handles merchandise of any size or weight thanks to its equipment (crane, light rail motor tractor, conveyor). This new facility provides companies with direct access to integrated transportation activities, such as storage, handling, customs and shipping.
Richmond is home to a dozen industrial motels which belong to the Industrial development committee (CDIR), who are always ready to welcome new businesses or expand existing businesses.
The CDIR also offers new building construction services with or without railway access, rental programs with buying options and labour recruitment service.
