In addition, we’re looking forward to some large commercial and retail growth in that portion of our city. On the east end, we recently completed negotiations with a major Canadian retailer. I am pleased to note that the property sale was successful and we look forward to some much-anticipated devel- opment in the near future. Growth to the south is continuing with a new Community Health- care Centre currently under construction. In the north, we are addressing surface drainage with the addition of a pipeline so we can continue to grow. Underground work is complete, which paves the way for some exciting new seniors housing options offered by the Charis Group.” “Lacombe has also been making some invest- ments into its airport, a combined facility with Lacombe County,” said CAO Goudy. “In recogni- tion of these upgrades, it’s been renamed as the Lacombe Regional Airport. We’re looking for that to be an economic driver in the future.” This project is yet another example of La- combe’s regional collaboration efforts with our municipal partners.” With all of its recent awards under its belt, as well as new projects underway and on the drawing board, Lacombe, Alberta is certainly living up to its tagline: Living life with bal- ance!
