Bio companies are choosing to grow in Sarnia-Lambton
In 2011 bio companies BioAmber, PlantForm, and Solution4C02 all chose Sarnia-Lambton, Ontario, Canada as the location to grow their businesses.
This community's location at the heart of the North American Great Lakes industrial corridor and its unique industrial infrastructure were key elements in BioAmber's decision to locate its first North American biosuccinic acid manufacturing plant in the Bio-Industrial Park Sarnia. The $80 million plant will access industrial infrastructure already in place, saving the company millions of dollars, noted Corporate affairs VP Mike Hartman.

Lambton unveils second generation GIS mapping site
Lambton's GIS mapping site is getting rave reviews from users! "This is the next generation of GIS mapping, and an incredible tool for both economic development and the general public," noted County Warden Steve Arnold at the upgraded site's November unveiling.
The enhancements include: new aerial photography of Lambton County flown in Spring 2010; a "parcel identification" tool that provides public MPAC information for each land parcel in the County; access to digital municipal zoning layers (where available); and built-in Statistics Canada data that can be tailored to provide demographic information around user-specified mapping points. Industrial site selectors can source mapping and information about Sarnia-Lambton's industrial business parks.
The site continues to allow users to find addresses, businesses, schools, libraries and many other points of interest across the County. Scuba divers can even map off-shore ship wrecks, and many local geneologists will find the map of Sarnia-Lambton cemeteries useful.
