Volunteer Opportunity: Heart of Town Area Redevelopment Committee

Lacombe's Historic Downtown

The City needs your help! The City of Lacombe is undertaking a review to replace the Heart of Town Redevelopment Plan.  The new Downtown Area Redevelopment and Urban Design Plan will help shape the future of Lacombe’s Downtown and surrounding areas.  The new plan will affect the area of the City bounded by:

 ·         58^th Street to the West to

·         56 Avenue to the North, to

·         46 Street to the East and to

·         the City’s corporate boundary to the South. 

Information on this project including the boundary area can be found on the City’s website at www.lacombe.ca.

Critical to the success of this project is the involvement of the people of Lacombe.  We are looking for seven community members (four residents and or property owners and three business operators or commercial property owners) from the affected area to serve on an Advisory Committee that will help identify the issues and opportunities for this far-reaching plan.

If you own property, operate a commercial establishment, or live in the downtown area, and are interested in helping to shape the future of Lacombe’s Downtown, please submit an application to serve on the committee.

The application deadline is Tuesday, January 3, 2012. City Council will appoint the successful applicants to the Advisory Committee during the January 9^th Regular Council Meeting.
