Elgin County Ontario

6 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 4, ISSUE 2 Tourism, and Strategic Initiatives Carolyn Krahn. One of the biggest pieces of developmental news in Elgin County is the redevelopment of the former Ford Assembly Plant in St. Thomas into an Amazon robotics facility that will eventually employ roughly 1,500 professionals. But there is much more in the development pipeline, Krahn says. There is an array of top-flight shopping in towns throughout the county, including farmer’s markets and special events with local artisans. Craft breweries and wineries are also increasing in quantity. As Krahn puts it, “the Niagara region is not the only one that has great wineries that can draw tourists.” The county’s new Warden Ed Ketchabaw says that Elgin is known as the “banana belt” for its proliferation of producing vegetables, fruits, and high volumes of livestock. Ketchabaw adds that the county’s strong agricultural community should not be overlooked for its impact on the county and throughout Canada.
