The City of Clarence-Rockland is a bilingual municipality located east of Ottawa along the Ottawa River. Formed in 1998 through the amalgamation of the City of Rockland and the Township of Clarence, it combines urban and rural communities and serves residents, visitors, businesses, investors, and developers across its territory.
Clarence-Rockland positions itself as a growing and business-friendly municipality with a skilled bilingual workforce, strategic proximity to Ottawa, and ongoing infrastructure investment. Through its Economic Development and Tourism department, the City provides guidance on business resources, grants, incentive programs, land and building opportunities, and municipal approvals.
The City also administers a Community Improvement Plan that offers incentive-based funding programs to support revitalization, private-sector investment, property improvement, and local economic development. These tools are part of the municipality's broader strategy to strengthen the local economy, promote sustainable growth, and enhance quality of life.
