Localization of the RCM of Joliette

Localization of the RCM of Joliette
T
he RCM of Joliette is located at the
heart of the greater Lanaudière
region and is considered the
regional capital. The RCM of
Joliette and its central city,
Joliette, is considered to be
the region’s commercial
and industrial hub.
The RCM of Joliette’s
geographical location
certainly adds to its
appeal as a
prosperous area that
while in a natural
setting is nonetheless
close to the major
road arteries!
Conveniently located
near the major road
arteries, the city
of Joliette is only
15 kilometers away
from Autoroute 40 via
Highway 31. It is located
35 kilometres from
Montreal’s east end, less
than 40 minutes away,
and 95 kilometers west
of Trois-Rivières, representing
less than an hour’s drive.

The road network in Joliette is well developed.
It is made up of two main arteries and a secondary road in addition to Highway 31. Highway
131 crisscrosses the region from the northern Lanaudière region to the regional capital;
Highway 158 links the RCMs of D’Autray and Montcalm to the urban centre of Joliette,
and Highway 343 provides easy access to the RCM of l’Assomption and the north-western sector
of the Lanaudière region.
The road network is fluid, well maintained and gives commuters from the outlying regions
and major centres quick and easy access to Joliette.

City of Joliette
T
he city of Joliette has two industrial parks :
one that is private (Nazaire-Laurin industrial
park) and one that is public and divided into
two sectors (J-A. Roy sector and St-Pierre Sud
sector).
Nazaire-Laurin Industrial Park
At the moment, the Nazaire-Laurin industrial park
has over 5 million square feet of property that is
ready for construction and which has a
complete range of municipal and public
services including water, sewer, natural gas
and high-speed internet.
The public industrial parks (J-A. Roy and St-Pierre
Sud sectors), with approximately 5 million square
feet of land, offer a complete range of public
services. The lots cost $0.50 per square foot in the
J A. Roy sector and $1.50 per square foot in the
St-Pierre Sud sector. Since the city of Joliette
owns an electricity distribution network on part
of its territory, the manufacturers in the J-A. Roy
sector are entitled to a rate discount program
based on total payroll. The discount may be as
high as $ 2.28 per kilowatt over a 5-year period.
Details of the Hydro-Québec program are
appended.
Nazaire-Laurin industrial park
Total surface area 7,5 million sq.ft
Surface area occupied
Now available : 1,5 million sq.ft
Futur development: 5,9 million sq.ft

Public Industrial Park – City of Joliette
J-A Roy industrial park
Surface area : 12,5 million sq.ft
Now available : 822 000 sq.ft
Futur project : sector 1 : 765 000 sq.ft
sector 2: more than 4 million sq.ft
For more details, contact the CLD Joliette commissioner at 450 752-5566.
Notre-Dame-des-Prairies
T
he city of Notre-Dame-des-Prairies has an
industrial and commercial park with two
components. The first, which is private, is
mostly held and developed by a construction
contractor. This part is located south of the
industrial park and is accessed by the Rue des
Entreprises.
The second part, which is public, is made up of
lots belonging to the city of Ville de NotreDame-des-Prairies. It has a commercially zoned
area as well as a large light industry sector that is
almost 5 million square feet in size. The public
sector encourages the construction of industrial
buildings, principally manufacturing businesses
creating sustainable employment, over 15,000
square feet. The entire industrial park has all
municipal and public services including water,
sewer, natural gas and high-speed internet.
In addition, since the Canadian National railway
crosses the industrial park, a railway service
could be included if the need should arise.
Finally, the city of Notre-Dame-des-Prairies set
the maximum industrial occupancy co-efficient
at 40%. The sale price of the lots in the public
sector is set at $0.55 per square foot and the lots
are mostly all ready for construction.
Finally, there is a commercially zoned area
located near Route 131 comprising nearly 2 million
square feet of lots to develop on either side of
Boulevard Firestone Est.
