Welcome to the Bentley-Lacombe County Joint Development Initiative Project Page!
The Town of Bentley and Lacombe County are working together to encourage commercial and industrial growth opportunities in Section 23-40-1-W5M, southeast of Bentley’s existing boundary. The Project is called the “Bentley-Lacombe County Joint Development Initiative.” It builds on past collaboration between the Town and County in planning for land use patterns and economic development.
The Project aims to prepare lands for future development by addressing several key questions around expectations and opportunities. It seeks to provide critical information needed by potential investors who may be interested in establishing a business in Central Alberta and specifically the area near Bentley. This includes:
- Detailed plans for the types of land use that may be possible;
- Patterns of land use and future road connections; and
- Opportunities to access municipal water and wastewater services.
The Project also involves adjusting the Town boundaries to add commercial and industrial lands to the Town and cost and revenue-sharing arrangements between the Town and County.
