Urban Centre Redevelopment Plan is here to guide future growth and revitalization

The Urban Centre Redevelopment Plan (UCRP) was approved by Leduc City Council, which will encourage mixed-use development, walkability, and a cohesive neighbourhood design while maintaining flexibility for future growth in the City of Leduc’s Urban Centre. The UCRP is a milestone for the City of Leduc as the plan is the City’s first area redevelopment plan.

The vision of the plan is to make the Urban Centre into an area that is accessible, safe, and inclusive with diverse housing, business opportunities, high-quality urban design, and transportation connection options.

The implementation plan that will guide revitalization outlines three phased, strategic, and sustainable priority levels for work to come:

• Tier 1 Foundational Actions: Lay the groundwork for downtown revitalization, focusing on major infrastructure improvements, zoning updates, and business activation.
• Tier 2 Supportive Measures: Reinforce and expand upon Tier 1 by enhancing public spaces, exploring funding mechanisms, and preserving heritage.
• Tier 3 Enhancements and Long-term Growth: Ensure sustainability and long-term vibrancy by improving public spaces, environmental sustainability, and cultural programming.

Community feedback helped shape the plan over its two-year development through engagement sessions held during each phase of the project.
