Lacombe County is pleased to welcome Monica Bartman as our new Economic Development Officer (EDO). The EDO position will work directly with businesses, community groups and other stakeholders to develop partnerships, and implement economic development activities to attract new business, and retain and grow existing business.

“Every year or two, Lacombe County Council would discuss the idea of having an Economic Development Officer during a Council meeting,” said Paula Law, Lacombe County Reeve. “With the growth in our hamlets, business and industrial parks, as well as increased activity in agribusinesses in Lacombe County, we felt it was the right time to add this position to our talented Planning and Development team, to support businesses of all sizes in Lacombe County.”

Pursuant to Municipal Government Act M-26.1 534(1) Lacombe County hereby provides notice to any person having an interest in land that is adjacent to lands which Lacombe County has constructed a public road. Persons entitled to compensation from the municipality for loss of or the permanent lessening of use of that person’s land caused by the public work are advised to make a claim within 60 days after this notice is published.
