Innovation Park, the industrial park in the Village of Limoges, is planned to expand by 200 acres (81 hectares). It is currently under 50 acres (20 hectares).

The United Counties of Prescott and Russell (UCPR) sold land it owned on Pommainville Road beside the existing industrial park, Innovation Park, to La Nation Municipality. The recently approved Official Plan for the entire county will allow that expansion. Currently, Innovation Park is full.

The land is forested and has been considered for development for several years. In 2021, La Nation Municipality passed by-laws to allow the forest to be removed and the land to be used for trade and industry but has not been able to go ahead until now.

The addition of water piped from Clarence-Rockland and the change in the Official Plan is why the plan can now proceed, according to officials.
