Strategic Development Regions
Stonewater's infrastructure strategy targets three distinct development regions, each selected for its strategic alignment with Canada's defence manufacturing priorities.
The London–St. Thomas corridor spans approximately 40 km along the Highway 401/402 intersection, connecting Canada's densest concentration of land systems manufacturing to regional logistics infrastructure including London International Airport and multi-modal freight connections.
