LETHBRIDGE COUNTY, AB – Lethbridge County wants to hear from residents about the future of the local economy. A survey is now open to the public.

County officials are hoping to obtain feedback from residents and business owners before drafting a plan that will direct Lethbridge County activities over the next several years.

Participants of the survey will be asked to identify Lethbridge County’s strengths and areas of opportunity. The survey can be filled out online, or in-person at the Lethbridge administration office.

Reeve Tory Campbell stated in a news release, “Council is committed to fostering an environment that encourages sustainable and responsible economic growth.”

Campbell added, “We strongly encourage the public to get involved in this process as we work to create a strategy that will benefit Lethbridge County for generations to come.”

In addition to the survey, once participants complete it, they will have the option to sign up to provide additional input in focus groups scheduled for August 16 and 17, 2023.

Campbell said the county “is in a strong position to further grow our economy,” adding, “Your input will help us to understand priorities and challenges so we can make informed decisions on actions that will support local businesses, attract investment, and create job opportunities for a prosperous future.”

Following this public engagement process, feedback will be reviewed and used to guide the Lethbridge County’s Economic Development Strategy, which is expected to be completed later this year.

The online survey is open until August 15.
