Global Transportation Hub Authority - in Regina, Saskatchewan - is one of Canada's several inland ports, including Centre Port in Manitoba and Port Alberta in Edmonton, Alberta. The statutory corporation is responsible for marketing, financing, planning and attracting investment for an inter-modal transfer and logistics facility in Regina.
The port consists of a 1,800-acre logistics park a few kilometers from the City of Regina, Saskatchewan. It is situated on the Canadian Pacific mainline and near the Trans-Canada Highway and Highway 11.
As an autonomous government entity, the GTH operates much like a municipality. It is responsible for its own land-use planning and development regulations, governance structure, sub-division approvals, permitting, and enforcement services.
The Global Transportation Hub is also one of nine Foreign Trade Zone points in the country, and the only FTZ in Saskatchewan.
As of November 2017, the hub has 10 business, with most of the land empty. The Hub Authority has been criticized for showing maps where all of the land is full.
Notable tenants at the hub include:
The Global Transportation Hub has become the subject of controversy over its involvement in a land purchase that disproportionately benefited businessmen with personal ties to Sask Party MLA Bill Boyd.
