Let's Talk 2012 - Land & Economic Development



Building permits are booming in Red Deer for 2012 - Let's Talk residential development
with Land & Economic Development on Saturday, April 21 at Parkland Mall 

 Land & Economic Development is one of the final participating departments in tomorrow’s big event and we think the phrase “you complete me” from Jerry Mcguire helps describe this department in two ways.

1)     As The City, we are not complete without all our departments. Land & Economic Development is one of our smaller departments; however, their impact on the organization, the city, and Central Alberta is huge.

2)     As a department, the Land side and Economic Development side complete each other. Economic Development works with Land to promote City land ready for development - whether for industrial, commercial or residential use. New industrial land attracts new business and allows local businesses room to expand. As new jobs are created, new residents move to the area and drive the need for more residential space. It’s an ongoing cycle, which is good news for our local economy.

Exciting times lie ahead for our Land & Economic Development department. Not only are industrial lots in the Queens Business Park selling like hot cakes, but today we announced that lots for our latest residential development, Garden Heights, are available for sale via a lot draw on Tuesday, May 15, 2012.

Find them hanging out with the rest of the Planning Services division for your chance at a Lego® set.

It’s your home, your neighbourhood, your city. Let’s Talk with Land & Economic Development on Saturday, April 21, at Parkland Mall from 9:30 a.m. until 6 p.m.
