The Argentia Management Authority
 The
Argentia Management Authority Inc. (AMA) is a non-profit corporation
incorporated in 1995 with an investment fund from the Atlantic Canada
Opportunities Agency (ACOA), and dedicated to the economic renewal
of the Placentia area.
The AMA was established to help mitigate the anticipated economic
impacts of the US Navy's closure of the Argentia base in October
>94. Using Argentia's numerous assets, and strategic location,
the organization is tasked with the responsibility of attracting
economic investment to the Placentia area.
In addition to Argentia's natural advantages, there are a number
of government incentives offered to businesses wishing to locate
here. The AMA works in partnership with federal, provincial and
municipal officials to attract business to Argentia, and we would
be more than happy to put interested companies in touch with the
proper development agencies and government departments regarding
incentive programs available.
The AMA is also the parent organization for a property management
and service division, Argentia Property Services Inc. (APS), and
a port ownership and management division, Argentia Port Corporation
Inc. (APC). These divisions manage and maintain Argentia's infrastructure
including water, sewer, roads, buildings, and docks.
