City of Lacombe receives $200,000 from provincial government for Downtown Area Redevelopment Plan
The City of Lacombe has received a $200,000 investment from the provincial government for their initiatives in the downtown.
The City says the funds come from the Government of Alberta’s Northern and Regional Economic Development program (NRED) and will be used towards their Downtown Area Redevelop Plan (DARP).
Officials say DARP Priority Projects include upgrading the downtown to make it more accessible, welcoming, and vibrant.
“This significant investment into the DARP vision shows we are on the right track with the economic and social development of our historic downtown core,” said Mayor Grant Creasey. “I want to thank the Government of Alberta for recognizing the success of the collaborative model we have chosen – spearheaded by the DARP Committee. I look forward to the milestone projects this investment will support in the coming years.”
