Welcome to South Stormont
The Eastern Gateway Welcome to South Stormont, the fastest growing municipality in southeastern Ontario. Located on the St. Lawrence River and Highway 401, South Stormont offers business an established distribution infrastructure, proximity to lucrative markets, a robust supplier base, and a low cost of doing business.
Good for Business Sharing a border with the City of Cornwall, South Stormont is only an hour away from Ottawa and Montreal. Located in the heart of Canada’s highway and rail corridor, South Stormont provides rapid and efficient access to three of the nation’s four principal metropolitan markets. And with international crossings in Cornwall, 10 minutes to the east, and Johnstown, 30 minutes to the west, there are over 100 million consumers within a day's drive of the township.
Any business requires affordable real estate, and South Stormont is happy to oblige. The municipality offers in excess of 130 acres of fully serviced land in its two industrial parks. Services include municipal water and sewer along with natural gas. The Ingleside Park includes fibre optic and is just seconds from Highway 401.

I believe that plays an important role in their performance and positive attitude on the job,” says a former manager of Kraft's Ingleside facility.
Mike Mahoney, general manager of Dynamic Closures, echoes the Kraft comment. “It’s worth reminding people about this terrific location with the woods on one side and Lake St. Lawrence on the other. I can leave the office at ten to six and be home by six,
A municipality of just under 12,000 people, South Stormont hasn’t yet learned to be bureaucratic. Come see for yourself what South Stormont has to offer.
