The City of Lacombe will be helping the Lacombe and District Chamber of Commerce move to a new home as plans get underway to turn their current location into a new commercial development.
The Chamber’s current office and Visitor Information Centre are located at 6005 50 Avenue. The chamber will be relocating by the end of May with help from a relocation package from the city that includes compensation for their building, reimbursement for costs to move the digital outdoor sign, and a suite of in-kind contributions for meeting and event space at low or no cost.
“This relocation is the first step in the redevelopment of this high-visibility property,” said Mayor Grant Creasey. “Both the City and the Chamber realized the potential that this land holds for development, and agreed to take steps to repurpose this underutilized site to expand Lacombe’s commercial tax base and promote economic growth.”
“On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to thank the City for working with us to ensure a positive outcome for the Chamber moving forward,” said Lacombe and District Chamber of Commerce President Theresa Johnston. “The Chamber’s mission is to be a collective voice advocating for growth and prosperity, and we believe this decision embodies that mission. With this agreement, we are pleased to be able to contribute positively to the growth of our local business community.”
