PROJECTS
Sorel-Tracy IP Zone
QSL partners with the City of Sorel-Tracy to develop an industrial-port Zone in the St. Lawrence sector.
This agreement is the starting point for a vast industrial park project that includes the restoration of the site of the former Hydro-Québec thermal power plant, where QSL is developing and will be operating a port terminal. With the port terminal, the site will offer full intermodal transportation access, making it an attractive investment location 45 minutes from Montréal.
