SMALL CITY,
BIG OPPORTUNITY
Entrepreneurship
in Salmon Arm is
growing. Particularly
food and beverage
processing, tourism
and advanced
manufacturing
sectors.
Zest Commercial
Food Hub is a shared-
use commercial
kitchen that welcomes
food and beverage
businesses to create
their products with
onsite mentorship.
Zest's unique model
eliminates the need to invest
in food processing equipment,
reduces operating costs and
creates a supportive environment
for food entrepreneurs.
There are also extensive
business development
opportunities in Salmon Arm's
Tourism Sector. The city's
breathtaking location along
the shores of Shuswap Lake,
coupled with its desirable four-
season climate, make this an
ideal destination for visitors. A
beautiful half-day drive from
either Vancouver or Calgary, or a
short flight into one of our nearby
international airports, ensures ease
of accessibility for all.
Perhaps the most unique
aspect of Salmon Arm's economy
is the cluster of technology
and advanced manufacturing
companies operating within the
city. Salmon Arm breaks the
mold as it is home to a significant
number of well-established high
tech businesses in our dedicated
Industrial Park. We're far from a
one-size-fits-all small economy.
The city also offers an industry-
specific tax incentive to support
new development.
