Rural Economic Development Microgrant Recipients

Congratulations to the 12 municipalities who received a microgrant for economic development in their area!

Through funding from the Government of Alberta’s Economic Development in Rural Alberta Plan (EDRAP) the RMA has developed a rural economic development microgrant program. This program provides selected rural municipalities with $10,000 to support projects related to innovative economic development ideas or plans. These projects will be completed by March 2024. The recipients are:

  • County of Newell
  • County of Vermilion River
  • Camrose County
  • Vulcan County
  • Special Areas Board
  • Smoky Lake County
  • Foothills County
  • Lacombe County
  • Municipal District of Willow Creek
  • Flagstaff County
  • Mountain View County
  • Brazeau County

The RMA will be working with grant recipients to share lessons learned and how other municipalities could undertake similar projects. This information will be shared through a final report in spring 2024.

The RMA thanks all members that applied for a microgrant!
