Should General Dynamics Expand Its Munitions Factory in Salaberry-de-Valleyfield?
General Dynamics wants to build 10 new buildings at its Salaberry-de-Valleyfield plant to boost production of energetic materials used in defence equipment. The $682 million project would increase daily output by at least 10%. Quebec's environmental review board is gathering public input before deciding whether to approve it.

What Could Change
If approved, General Dynamics could build 10 new buildings and new access roads by 2028. Production of energetic materials would increase by at least 10%. New water and energy infrastructure would be installed on site.
