To bring the corporate mission to life, the County needs to proactively engage the business community and evolve the economic development function from its land use planning roots into an energizing force by pursuing opportunities.
Until recently, the County’s economic development was primarily a planning and development function, with the Municipal
Development Plan serving as the core strategic document. This new strategy seeks to build on the Municipal Development Plan, providing proactive leadership that will bring the plan to life.
“Success grows here; through empowering diverse, innovative and community-minded industry and entrepreneurs.”
The County’s Municipal Development Plan also sets out a clear and shared vision for the future growth of Lacombe County. Reviewed in 2017, the Municipal Development Plan works in conjunction with the Land Use Bylaw and emphasizes the importance of agriculture while encouraging sustainable and structured economic growth and development within County borders.
