The zoning of our business and industrial parks is flexible to allow for various types of land uses from manufacturing to large-scale office environments.

BUSINESS PARKS & COMMERCIAL AREAS

Major resources in Stony Plain or the tri-municipal region include coal, sand and gravel, petroleum, natural gas, and agriculture. The Edmonton Genesee power plant and the Fording Coal Mine are two sizeable contributors to the local economy. In addition, diversification into government services and light manufacturing has set the stage for long-term steady growth. Stony Plain also has a thriving tourist industry.

Stony Plain offers a stable business environment and opportunities for long-term growth. Serviced land prices are extremely competitive. We value the proximity to transportation networks.
