Highway 400 employment lands and the Holland Marsh

Bradford West Gwillimbury has about 2,200 acres of employment land in four business parks on or beside Highway 400, according to the Town's economic development office. The largest, the Highway 400 Prestige Employment Lands, covers 1,404 acres aimed at large-format distribution, logistics and manufacturing, and the 372-acre Artesian Industrial Business Park has CN rail service. Highway 425, the former Bradford Bypass, is under construction as 16.3 km of new freeway with seven interchanges linking Highway 400 to Highway 404, and southwest of town the Holland Marsh's 7,200-acre drained polder grows onions, carrots, celery and leafy greens.

Equipment theft is a recurring risk. In April 2022, about $100,000 in heavy equipment was taken from a construction site in the town, and the South Simcoe Police investigation that followed tied a Brampton man to a year of heavy equipment thefts and trafficking worth more than $500,000 across South Simcoe, York, Toronto and OPP areas. In July 2026, officers called at about 1:50 a.m. found six youths inside a fenced, active construction site on Holland Street West, and in September 2026 the service recovered a wheel loader stolen from Milton and four large spools of aluminum wire at an industrial site in Innisfil. Machines, wire and materials left on open land are what draw people in at night.

Sigma suits Bradford's mix of new employment sites, rail-served industry and farm operations. Technicians install cameras and speakers where the property needs them, AI person and vehicle detection watches for anyone crossing it after hours, and a live agent answers each alert with a talk-down through the speakers and, if that fails, a call to South Simcoe Police and your contacts. Logistics buildings opening along Highway 400 can add Gate Operations and yard reports, and farm and food-processing sites with power and internet can be watched the same way.
