GROWING ECONOMY
As one of the fastest growing cities in Ontario, Barrie has a dynamic economy with low unemployment rates. It is the largest city in Simcoe County and functions as a regional provider of health, education, retail and business services for all of the region’s population. Moreover, Barrie is within a one-day trucking distance of more than 131 million North American consumers. In the last 60 years, Barrie has been allocated additional land 10 times with the most recent addition of 5,700 acres for future development.
