Quinte area officials are turning their eyes south of the border, as companies there are considering their options in a Donald Trump presidential world.
Officials of the Quinte Economic Development Commission travelled to Arizona last week to a Site Selection Guild conference, a group that helps companies find where they should locate a branch plant next.
Executive Director Chris King told the Commission meeting Tuesday that the idea is to attract branch plants here, but right now many companies are playing a waiting game as far as what new rules President Trump’s administration will put in place.
He says there’s an uncertainty in the market.

King says Canada has the advantage of being stable and having access to the European market.
