North West Industrial Suburban Development Area (SDA) is an area which is attracting international investors and is located in the provinces's hub city; Saskatoon, Saskatchewan (Canada). Lower provincial corporate tax rates, no more provincial capital tax, and industrial lease and purchase rates which have stabilized very competitively with neighboring provinces have produced a demand for industrial property which exceeds supply. North Saskatoon Business Association (NSBA) promotes business interests in the Northern Industrial sector of Saskatoon. [1]
For zoning purposes there are 4 major types of zoning in the North West Industrial SDA:
- Light Industrial areas comprise economic business activity which do not interfere with neighborhood community interests, and are therefore zoned IL1 districts.
- Heavy Industrial areas show industrial economic concern which may create nuisance activities during their operating day. These zones are IH areas.a[2]
