Survey

Lacombe County engages residents and businesses regarding rural economy

Jun 22, 2022 | 5:04 PM

Lacombe County residents are being asked to weigh in on the kind of economy they want to build.

The County is launching a business survey to understand the challenges and opportunities facing the business community.

“Local businesses are the lifeblood of the county’s economy, and we are eager to hear how we can support their prosperity and success”, said Monica Bartman, Economic Development Officer for Lacombe County.

Earlier in the year, the County kicked off an economic development strategic planning process, starting with a resident survey to gather insight into the goals and aspirations of the community.

“We knew coming into the strategic planning process that preserving both the agricultural land and rural way of life would be priorities,” said Bartman. “Early results from the resident survey confirm those values, but also highlight the desire for vibrant business development within the footprint of existing communities across the county”.

County officials say the resident survey inquired about their priorities and ideas on the “art of the possible”. They also say, given the large geography and diverse perspectives of county residents, it is important residents speak up and help shape the future.
