Alberta municipalities with populations under 3,500 who are working to complete a municipal development plan (MDP) for the first time are invited to submit a grant application under the new, limited-term Alberta Community Partnership (ACP) Local Land Use Planning (LLUP) component from Municipal Affairs.
The LLUP offers grants at maximums up to $30,000, and are intended to help small municipalities benefit from improved long-term planning standards under the new Municipal Government Act (MGA). For the first time, all municipalities in Alberta, regardless of size, are required to complete a MDP by April 21, 2021. Further information on the ACP LLUP component including updated program guidelines and application form are available on the Municipal Affairs website here.
The deadline to apply is February 15, 2018.
