What makes the Boundary region so popular for new business owners and residents is its sheer beauty—people just seem to be drawn to the area. h3. Grand Forks happenings Grand Forks is another Boundary community that benefits from its tourism industry. However, many visitors who come to the city to check out what it has to offer are choosing to stay and make their home here. With that said, real estate projects and developments are in high demand in Grand Forks. Among these projects, Copper Ridge is considered to be one of the largest, with its 488 acres of land featuring undulating grasslands and spectacular scenery. According to the Copper Ridge Development Corporation, this project is unique because developers must follow a set of rules that respect the surrounding natural landscape. h3. Beautiful Christina Lake In Christina Lake, businesses thrive on tourism and recognize that it’s a vital part of the economy. With a population of 1,400, the unincorporated town grows to at least 6,000 during the summer months because of all the visitors and part-time residents, according to the Christina Lake Chamber of Commerce. And the community is just starting to make its mark in the forest industry, with the start-up of a new company called Creekside Industries Ltd.—a manufacturer of finger-jointed studs.
