Investing in Neepawa
A Growing Community with Growing Opportunities
Some may be puzzled at how a small agricultural community with a population of over 5,600, located in southwestern Manitoba, has achieved record population growth of 23%* — a net gain of 1076 new residents — in the short span of five years. But it’s no surprise when you consider the community’s progressive business climate, and community leaders’ strong desire to develop a positive economic environment for business owners and commercial and industrial investors alike.
The result: new job opportunities at manufacturing companies like HyLife and Stella-Jones, and an influx of new residents to fill those jobs — and the ripple effect of expanded development in the retail, professional services, housing and hospitality sectors that benefit the community and region.
