Business in St. Paul

St. Paul businesses benefit from its strategic location in the northeast and its status as a major trading center for 35,000 people.

Visitors, new residents and people looking for business opportunities are attracted to St. Paul by the amenities available, recreational opportunities and a strong volunteer spirit.

Located on Highway #29 and surrounded by a large number of lakes and campgrounds is an advantage for downtown retailers and other businesses.

New commercial & residential development, excellent infrastructure and a “Main Street” downtown revitalization initiative will further strengthen the commercial core.

The Alberta Hub is a partnership of Communities, Post-Secondary Educational Institutions and Business/Industry who have joined together to convey the advantages of eastern Alberta.  For more information on the Alberta Hub take a look at their website www.albertahub.ca.
