Business Matters
Seeking investors in a community on the rise.
Your investment is important to us as we work to implement an ambitious community development vision:
Home is where the heart is in Calmar – as the Edmonton region’s most affordable community. Connected to the earth in what we sow and grow. Connected to the neighbours you know. Pursuing an energized downtown, imaginative new housing options, and new types of spaces and places for entrepreneurs to grow their craft.
The Opportunity
Calmar is a growing community of 2300 people, with affordable small town living in the heart of Alberta’s agriculture and oil field industries. Growing communities of our size naturally start to add proportionately more local retail and services activity. We are working to expand industrial, commercial, and residential land supply. We have fiber optics installed in all areas of town, including our downtown and south industrial park. Industry investment opportunities include regional O & G industrial services, manufacturing, and trades & transportation services. We are in the process of providing areas of diverse housing choices – which will create more flexibility for land developers and builders. We have new community direction, economic development, downtown, and recreation plans to support and enable community growth and vibrancy.
JOIN US!
We have programs to help grease the wheels of your business model in Calmar. Boost your return on investment in the early phase of development when every dollar counts. We are committed to working with our new developers, builders, and business owners.
