Lacombe provides new portal to partner with the City on municipal properties

Jun 3, 2022 | 4:25 PM

Lacombe city council approved an initiative to explore innovative land development, partnerships, and sponsorship opportunities through the continued use of a public and transparent “Request for Expressions of Interest (RFEOI)” process.

The opportunities are currently live through Lacombe.ca/Collaborate, which provides descriptions, videos, and detailed maps of several municipal properties. The initiative will be on an ongoing live portal, updated with the latest municipal properties available.

City officials state the creation of Lacombe.ca/Collaborate stems from the success of “Building Lacombe: RFEOI”, which they say in 2019 led to multiple achievements, including the acquisition of the former Parkland Regional Library building and the sale of the two newly created commercial lots on the western edge of the community.

“Council is always looking for creative ways to drive investment towards Lacombe,” said Mayor Grant Creasey. “The RFEOI process allows the City to partner with the broader community to ensure municipal properties maximize benefit for our citizens. Council looks forward to reviewing innovative proposals from interested citizens, organizations, and businesses. Lacombe.ca/Collaborate is an excellent tool for our future partners to engage with the City on these properties.”
