Description
The Maskoutains Local Development Centre (LDC) will study transforming four of the six existing industrial parks in the Maskoutains Regional Municipality into eco-industrial parks and developing a new eco-industrial park in the central City of Sainte-Hyacinthe with the aim of increasing synergies and reducing the parks’ environmental impacts and operating costs. The study will select and validate sustainable practices for the selected parks. A generic model presenting viable sustainable practices will be developed for adaptation by other Quebec regions. With the development of eco-industrial parks, water use, the quantity of stormwater to be treated, energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions will be reduced, waste diversion rates will increase, and natural habitats will be better protected.
