Framework for Strategic Growth
As a thriving community in the heart of central Alberta, strategic growth is a priority. Mountain View County's Planning and Development Department is resourced to guide development in the County to ensure a balance between quality rural living and urban sophistication in terms of infrastructure and convenience. The County's Municipal Development Plan (MDP) was revised in 2007, and serves as the framework for planning and development decisions in the County, addressing important issues to guide key land use priorities for the County. These include:
- The needs within the County relative to industrial, residential and recreational use
- The importance of agriculture as a key economic and cultural engine
- Maintaining a rural quality of life
- Stimulating business and residential growth
- The vital need for diversity in land use
- Environmental stewardship as a means of sustainability
- Infrastructure to support continued growth and development
- The enormous diversity within the County boundaries in terms of land use and infrastructure
