Parkland County's Economic Diversification department actively promotes business growth, development and tourism in the County. We are here to assist you in your business plans, whether you are looking to start a business, already have a business, or are simply looking to explore what Parkland County has to offer.

The Parkland County Advantage

Transportation and market access, affordable land prices, the lowest non-residential taxes in the Capital Region, well over 10,000 acres of industrial land, and a strong agricultural sector are all part of the Parkland County advantage. We have a wealth of opportunities to grow business in Parkland County.

We believe in the role of economic development for the sustainability of Parkland County. We are a bold and innovative municipality and we will actively explore potential for other municipality-based revenue streams that will enhance our future growth and reduce our reliance on property taxes.

Economic development

In Parkland County, we recognize that economic development is not a thing; it is an activity, one that requires commitment. We are open for business, actively seeking to attract and retain businesses that complement the vision we have for Parkland County. Business and industry play an important role in the quality of life for our residents, by offering goods and services, employment, and contributing to the overall growth of the community.
