LOCAL ECONOMY

Industries Common to Shediac & Westmorland

Shediac sits within the CBDC Westmorland service area, a region historically shaped by forestry and wood products, seafood processing, tourism and hospitality, advanced manufacturing, and agriculture. Businesses here often face the same growth constraints — access to capital, limited internal bandwidth for strategic planning, and the need for outside expertise to validate decisions before committing resources.
