Although Caraquet, a port town, was once known for its strength in the maritime sector, it has diversified to shine today in various sectors, including of course still the maritime sector. Caraquet, a dynamic town, understood that in order to develop and build a strong and prosperous economy, it needed to take charge of its destiny and work together with stakeholders in the territory on solid foundations. To achieve this, it established its economic development policy and relied on a bold strategy.
In fact, several years ago she created her own economic development corporation, AcadieNor, and hired a director of economic development. This City entity is therefore responsible for economic development initiatives in all sectors of activity as well as the management of the Industrial Complex.
Proof of the success of the adopted strategy, the population of Caraquet has grown in the last two censuses and the tax base of the town of Caraquet has grown by almost 90% over the last 15 years.
Caraquet is located on Caraquet Bay with a breathtaking view of the Bay of Chaleurs. The area boasts excellent restaurants and entertainment facilities that are the envy of many regions. The quality of life is at its peak in all seasons of the year and we are confident that these factors ensure that people working in businesses in the area are delighted and want to stay.
