Economic Development Strategy

The Town of Huntsville Economic Development strategy is a road map to ensuring the prosperity of our region and represents the ideas of many people, businesses and organizations across Huntsville who have shared their priorities with us during the consultation phase.

The combination of Muskoka’s scenic beauty, rugged landscape, extensive waterfront within proximity to the world-famous Algonquin Park has made Huntsville a popular retreat for tourists and seasonal residents alike. The Town’s economy as a result is primarily based on tourism, recreation, and the service sector with a strong construction industry. While tourism is welcomed by all businesses, there is a desire to diversify and thereby reduce the impact that the resulting seasonality has on the local economy.
