Construction has officially begun at the new Operations Facility at 5395 Len Thompson Dr.) and is anticipated to be completed in phases by Spring 2024, according to Director of Operations and Planning, Jordan Thompson.
The Public Works department includes waste and wastewater management, parks, and roads among others.

“Council is excited to see this critical project move ahead,” said Mayor Grant Creasey. “After an extensive development phase, Lacombe city council is confident the project will deliver value for the community.”
