Progress. That's the town of Yarmouth's motto and the underlying force that inspires the Yarmouth and Area Chamber of Commerce. Building a progressive community takes co-operation and innovation, a goal that is accomplished by combining the efforts of the community and business leaders. With this goal in mind, the Chamber of Commerce helps pioneer new initiatives that showcase Yarmouth's abundant natural resources and business opportunities to the world.
One of the many advantages of doing business in Yarmouth is the location. Jim Greig, executive director of the Yarmouth and Area Chamber of Commerce, knows firsthand about accessing the global market. From his office overlooking the runway at the Yarmouth International Airport, he sees new opportunities for business everyday. "We are the closest point in Nova Scotia to New England, so it seems logical for this to be the hub for transportation," Greig says. "If anyone was wishing to manufacture and export to the United States, this is an ideal place to be."
Yarmouth is sometimes referred to as "The Gateway to Nova Scotia" and it's not hard to see why.
