Capital investment continues to set a record-breaking pace on \u00cele J\u00e9sus, with the announcement last week that Laval real estate developer Gimmelin intends to build a new, $100 million, 3 million sq.ft. industrial park to house medium and heavy industry at the junction of Highway 25 and Highway 440.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re opening Laval\u2019s doors to business,\u201d city executive committee chairman David de Cotis told The Suburban.<\/i> \u201cIt will easily accommodate a dozen huge enterprises on lots of up to 530,000 sq. ft. each.<\/p>\n

De Cotis, who also serves as chairman of the city\u2019s economic development arm Laval Technopole, said in an interview that the money will be invested in basic services to build infrastructure on the site such as electricity, fresh water and sewage lines and so forth.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe industrial park is very exciting,\u201d added St. Vincent de Paul Councillor Paolo Galati, in whose district it will be built. \u201cIt reinforces that the current civic administration is learning how to attract big business to Laval.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt entails listening, collaboration and moving forward with constructive measures to make these things happen,\u201d Galati said.<\/p>\n

Gimmelin said in a statement that it expects that its development will \u201ccreate hundreds of jobs\u201d.<\/p>\n

Laval has long been successful at attracting more than $1 billion a year in new capital investment.<\/p>\n

Nearly $900 million in new investment has already been announced during the first four months of this year, putting the city well on its way toward a record windfall for 2015.<\/p>\n

The strong economy and lower taxes continue to attract newcomers who have swelled the city\u2019s population. That growth has put Laval on track to become the province\u2019s second-largest city, when it eventually surpasses Quebec City.<\/p>\n

Its growing industrial infrastructure will help to accelerate Laval\u2019s transformation from suburban backwater into a budding metropolis.<\/p>\n

In 2013, Environment Quebec fined Gimmelin $20,000 for unauthorized construction that it conducted on wetland in St. Francois woods, four years earlier.<\/p>\n
