Addressing the Issue of Under-Utilized Commercial Real Estate in Rural Alberta
This 18-month project aims to tackle the challenge of underutilized commercial spaces in small and rural communities across Alberta by researching innovative approaches from similar communities in North America, Europe, and beyond.
The project will culminate in a series of actionable recommendations for Alberta’s municipalities, community leaders, policymakers, and the rural real estate industry. These insights will be designed to drive policy changes and targeted investments that support meaningful, lasting revitalization in Alberta’s rural areas.
