Flagstaff County is open for business. Agriculture, oil and gas are the main economic drivers and similar to many other Alberta rural communities, the booming provincial economy has resulted in the following outcomes:
- Industrial development and activity in the oil and gas sector continue to flourish and add substantially to the local economy.
- Farmland market values continue to increase
- Residential market values in the County (and in the municipalities)are experiencing increases thereby increasing the demand for a relatively limited supply of residential properties for purchase or rental opportunities
- Ongoing and continued contract and employment opportunities for a wide variety of trades
Through the Business & Community Development Committee, Flagstaff County has established the following goals and objectives for the Economic Development Department:
