The provincial government released its Economic Development in Rural Alberta plan on December 14. The following five strategic directions are outlined in the five-year plan:
- Economic development-enabling infrastructure
- Rural business supports and entrepreneurship

- Marketing and promoting rural tourism
- Rural economic development capacity building.
The plan includes funding for Alberta’s eight Regional Economic Development Alliances (REDAs), something for which ABmunis has advocated over the last few years.
