FTZ title will help promote the region and attract investors

Windsor-Essex has been designated a Foreign Trade Zone, a title federal politicians hope will help bring business opportunities and jobs to the region.

The area is the eighth such zone in Canada, according to Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development, Navdeep Bains.

"As a trading nation, Canada recognizes the strong connection between trade and good, well-paying jobs," he said. "We are committed to strengthening this region and all of southern Ontario as an international hub with world market accessibility."
