Leduc County Economic Development and Growth Management Strategy 

The Leduc County Economic Development and Growth Management Strategy was adopted by council in 2016.

As a result, a comprehensive strategy needs to be developed in order to manage the forecast population and economic growth in the region. The county’s position in the wider Edmonton Metropolitan Region, as well as the high volume transportation corridors that run through it, makes the job of planning for growth and economic development especially challenging. A strong regional economy and dramatic population and employment growth created the need for this strategy.

Intermunicipal collaboration frameworks (ICFs)/Intermunicipal Development Plans (IDPs)

An intermunicipal collaboration framework (ICF) helps facilitate cooperation between neighbouring municipalities to ensure municipal services are provided in an effective and cost-efficient manner. ICFs reinforce existing relationships and formalize a process for municipalities to work together.

ICFs must address at least the following five specific service areas:

  • transportation
  • water and wastewater
  • solid waste
  • emergency services
  • recreation

If the municipalities are part of a growth management board, only the service areas not covered by the board need to be addressed in the ICF. An ICF must also include an adopted intermunicipal development plan (IDP), except when both municipalities are members of a growth management board's growth plan. Leduc County is a member of the Edmonton Metropolitan Region Board (EMRB), which is a growth management board. The EMRB covers all requirements of an ICF, with the exception of recreation service.

An intermunicipal development plan (IDP) is a collaborative land use plan for lands of mutual interest between two or more municipalities. IDPs ensure that desired long-term growth and development occurs in an integrated and coordinated manner.
