"We help bring your vision to reality."
Vision
To be the easiest place to do business in Alberta by 2030.
What does this mean?
It means no longer spending an exhaustive amount of time planning your next investment. The information is right at your fingertips, and the ability to put that information into action is seamless. Ongoing process and system reviews will result in continual improvement and streamlining of processes, seamless online application, and faster processing, resulting in the fastest approval turnaround in the province.
It means getting the help you need, when you need it! If you have a question or require help along the way, our dedicated Economic Development team will assist from business concept to grand opening; that’s our “One Stop Shop” approach to Economic Development!
It means navigating a process that has less restrictions, is more intuitive and, simply put, EASIER! We are constantly reviewing and updating our policies to better reflect the needs of the community. We pride ourselves on listening to our stakeholders and using your feedback to make our processes easier.
