Public hearing on Intermunicipal Development Plan set for October 15

(Grande Prairie, Alta. – September 25, 2024) The City of Grande Prairie and County of Grande Prairie invite community members to a joint public hearing on October 15, 2024, regarding the draft Intermunicipal Development Plan (IDP).

During the hearing, City and County Council will have the chance to ask questions about the draft IDP. Community members are also invited to share their opinions on the proposed plan. After the public hearing, each Council will review the feedback and decide on the approval of the draft IDP during their regular Council meetings.

The hearing will take place from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at Teresa Sargent Hall in the Montrose Cultural Centre (9839 103 Ave, Grande Prairie).

To review the final draft of the IDP before the public hearing, community members are encouraged to attend the upcoming open house on October 7, 2024. This drop-in event runs from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Teresa Sargent Hall in the Montrose Cultural Centre (9839 103 Ave, Grande Prairie).

Project Background

The IDP is a long-term, strategic plan required by the Municipal Government Act that outlines a vision for development and infrastructure near municipal boundaries. The current IDP between the City & County was adopted in 2010 and has since undergone several amendments. The City and County initiated the process of updating their existing IDP in September 2019. Since then, the project teams from both municipalities have worked together to develop a new draft IDP.
