The Steinbach Community Development Corporation was incorporated in 1985 as a business entity.  The SCDC is a non-profit company owned by the City of Steinbach with a mandate to foster the economic development of the city of Steinbach, and to encourage the growth of businesses within the city.

The Board of Directors of the SCDC serve as volunteers and are appointed by the City of Steinbach Council.  The SCDC has the ability to:

• acquire land
• enter into agreements for cooperative relationships
• assist the City in planning and development of business enterprises
• deal with companies including site selection and infrastructure
• play a liaison role with provincial and federal agencies
• communicate the strengths of the community to companies located elsewhere

Businesses choose to locate to a particular city because it “feels right” to them.  They believe the community provides a high quality of life and that the workforce is vibrant and committed.  The SCDC feels that the best opportunity to promote the Steinbach’s distinct advantages in this regard is through networking and fostering good old-fashioned relationships.

Currently, the Corporation holds approximately 600 acres in a land bank for future long term business activity and expansions, and is actively marketing land in the Steinbach Industrial Park.
