City of Camrose Municipal Development Plan

How should Camrose grow and develop in the next 25 years? We are listening!

The City of Camrose has started writing a new long-term plan to outline the way the city should grow into the future. This plan will:

• Operate under a guiding vision and core values that represent the heart of Camrose

• Lay out types and locations of potential development

• Support transportation, environment and economic growth

• Respect and promote the relationship Camrose has with Camrose County and other neighbouring entities

What is a Municipal Development Plan (MDP)?

A Municipal Development Plan (MDP) is a document that creates a long-term plan for a community. Municipalities use MDPs to show what values are going to guide their decision-making processes, what the community currently looks like and where they want to focus different types of growth, and how the area will connect to its surroundings through roads, utilities, and other services.

Why is the City writing this MDP now?

The current MDP in Camrose was adopted in 2011. Over the last 13 years Camrose has faced significant changes and it's time for a fresh outlook on the way the City decides to move forward with its growth and development. An increasing population, an ever-urgent need for affordable housing, climate change and emerging technologies are just some of the factors that represent significant potential for Camrose to adapt its leading policy document.
