MCMILLAN INDUSTRIAL PARK

McMillan Industrial Park, the City's major development site, is located in the northeast corner of the City, east of the Manitoba Developmental Centre.  A number of industries have located in this park including McCain Foods Ltd., Parrheim Foods, Pure Fishing, the Food Development Centre and Hi-Tec Industries Inc.

In total, approximately 550 acres have been designated for industrial and industrial reserve use City wide in two areas located on the north west and north east sides of the City.  Of the 550 acres of industrially designated land, over 200 available acres is principally located in the McMillan Industrial Park which houses the majority of the City’s larger industrial entities. 

Over the years, the City has been successful in its attempts to attract industry.  Strategically situated in the centre of the continent astride major east-west transportation routes, Portage la Prairie is in an ideal position to accommodate additional industries, particularly those based in food processing.

As an added advantage to locating in McMillan Industrial Park, the City of Portage la Prairie and Rural Municipality of Portage la Prairie have entered into an agreement with the Provincial Government to construct an Industrial Park Access Road which is currently under construction.   

Primary access to the new Industrial Park road will be off of the Junction of Provincial Road 26 and TransCanada 1A at the east end of the City, north to Lincoln Avenue and then proceeding west to the Industrial Park. 

We believe the addition of this roadway will benefit future and existing industrial business since access to the Industrial park will be much easier than the current routing which takes heavy trucks through the middle of the City and some residential areas.
