Strategic land acquisition is one way the Municipality is investing in the future of our community. By acquiring properties with potential for future development, the Municipality can help create opportunities for business investment, employment, community amenities, and sustainable economic growth.
These acquisitions provide the Municipality with greater flexibility to respond to future opportunities and community needs, while supporting long-term planning and responsible growth.
The Economic Growth Strategy Committee assists Municipal Council with determining what role it should play in the future economic development of the community through investments in infrastructure, policy decisions, taxation strategies, community development, legislative frameworks and advocacy, sector growth, acquisition and sale of land, and economic data collection and research to ensure that the financial resources entrusted to the Municipality by its residents are spent wisely in order to provide the best options to maximize economic returns.
Council has made the following strategic land acquisitions. Click on the photos below for further details about each property and its potential role in the community’s future.
