The Municipality of the District of Shelburne (MODS) has purchased the 558-acre Hartz Point property, securing a unique and valuable waterfront site that is part of a bold municipal strategy to build a stronger, more balanced economy—one not reliant on any single industry but instead thriving through diversity. The Municipality’s vision is to attract thoughtful, sustainable projects that complement the property’s natural beauty and community character while creating new opportunities for investment, jobs, and recreation. Large-scale industrial operations are not part of the plan.

The Hartz Point property, acquired for $1.46 million from the Wardens and Rectors of the United Parishes of St. George and St. Patrick.
