Port Moody:
Burrard Inlet (south side). Various light manufacturing and distribution companies are located in this area, just off St. John’s Street.  Some of the larger industries here include Reichold Chemicals and Andrés Wines.
Ioco Road on the north side of Burrard Inlet, where Imperial Oil (storage facility) is currently located is another industrial area in Port Moody.
Summary
Most industries in the region have transportation links with rail and water. The three major routes of road access are the Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 1), Lougheed Highway (Highway 7) and Barnet Highway (Highway 7A). The Mary Hill Bypass route, along the shore of the Pitt and Fraser Rivers, links the Pitt River Bridge and the local highways directly to the Meridian Industrial Park and Mayfair Industrial Park.  This route is an important transportation corridor for both commercial and passenger vehicles.
Many companies also take advantage of their central locations next to the Fraser and Pitt Rivers, and Burrard Inlet.  The Fraser Mills area, Lafarge Concrete Ltd., and Columbia Bithulithic Ltd. have utilized the Fraser and Pitt Rivers for shipment for many years. Pacific Coast Terminals utilize Burrard Inlet for its water traffic from Port Moody.
Accessibility and availability of land at relatively low cost makes the region an ideal location for new manufacturing plants of all kinds. Currently, the largest area with available land is the Pacific Reach Business Park.
