Economic Opportunities

St. Anthony offers many economic & investment opportunities..
We invite potential investors and skilled trade professionals to explore the commercial possibilities that our region has to offer..

St. Anthony represents the tourism & economic hub of Newfoundland's Northern Peninsula. Our region holds a population base of almost 30,000 residents..

Regional investment opportunities are yielding excellent returns - at minimal cost.

The region also offers a supply of vast natural resources, along with a strong work-force & modern infrastructure..

Ultra High-speed Internet allows locally-based business to effectively communicate globally..

All located within the best place to live in the world.

St. Anthony's fishery is a highly successful industry - which holds promise, scalability - and a business-friendly development environment.

We feel our fisheries will become exponentially larger in scale within upcoming years. The fishery is likely to attract a great deal of investment and infrastructure improvements.

Most local job positions (all categories) are posted in our regional newspaper, the Northern Pen.

Our town's prosperity and tourism industry is rapidly growing - which requires local investment to meet immediate regional business and tourism demands..

Tourism

• Tourism industry requires further investment to accommodate accelerated growth (accommodations, restaurants, etc.)
• Theme parks & other attractions offer profit possibilities.
• Ski resort property is already partially developed - and available for completion.
• Snowmobile "adventure tour" operations could take advantage of our region's spectacular groomed trail system.

Fishery

• Proposed extension of wharf and cargo facilities will allow expansion of local fishery.
• St. Anthony offers excellent docking and packaging facilities
• SABRI Basin Resources aids the coordination of all fishery related ventures.
• Retailers can package fresh seafood - directly at the source - at minimal cost.

Health Care

• Major Hospital & Medical facilities constantly require skilled medical professionals (Labrador Grenfell Health)

Natural Resources

• Iceberg water is easily accessible and facilities & workforce allows commercial operations locally. There is already a highly successful bottled-water company operating in St. Anthony - with distribution throughout North America. Visit 80º North website.
  The purity of Iceberg water has launched several new companies (Vodka, bottled water, etc.)
• Berries - The anti-oxidant "health" properties of berries is becoming common knowledge and an extremely profitable industry. Our region offers a HUGE abundance of berries (and a wide variety of species). We often predict that a local entrepreneur will soon earn huge profits - through continental sales of this highly available resource. (ex. bottled juices)
• Forestry - The Northern Peninsula contains vast areas of lumber resources
• Fresh Water - A huge supply of pure, fresh water is also available for commercial resale. Factors, such as "global warming" have caused water shortages (elsewhere).. Our unlimited water supply - and uncomparable purity - is quickly becoming a highly precious resource.
• And, of course, Fresh Atlantic Seafood !!
