Kingston offers business and investment opportunities in a number of new and established economic sectors. Some examples include:
The city is also home to publicly-funded institutions, including three hospitals, two universities and a community college, a number of government offices, penitentiaries and a large military base. These institutions provide direct employment to local residents as well as spinoff investment opportunities.
Generally, newcomers interested in owning and operating a business can participate in the local economy by starting a new business, buying an existing business or operating a franchise.
Staff at the Kingston Economic Development Corporation (KEDCO) can provide information and advice on current business prospects in the Kingston area and available properties in business parks, industrial areas and downtown. Information on privately owned commercial and industrial properties and government programs to assist startup businesses can also be obtained through KEDCO (see For More Information links below).
A number of government departments provide free advice to startup businesses and other services such as workshops and seminars.
