Vision of the Future Beaver County and the towns and villages within the County boundary have for the most part had a fairly stable population over the last 15 years (likely influenced by proximity to the Edmonton region). Many parts of rural Alberta are feeling the stresses caused by steady population decline. Farms get bigger and people move away to pursue opportunities in larger urban centres. Beaver County has a proud history as an agricultural producer, which means it has experienced the same population challenges of other rural regions. Unlike other rural regions, however, there has been some modest industry growth, especially focused in the communities of Tofield and Viking. This dynamic suggests four potential “visions” for the future of Beaver County: Vision 1: Graceful Aging: While areas closer to Edmonton have a stable population, areas further east experience a slow decline in population. Farms get larger, the farm population continues to age, and young people tend to leave to find opportunities in larger urban centers. Municipal leadership continues to focus on providing core infrastructure services with available tax dollars, but a smaller population may impact service levels in future given fewer tax dollars. This said, “slow, steady and predictable” is a comfortable lifestyle for residents. Vision 2: Industrial Heart: Highway 2 and the Capital Region are growing quickly. Land prices and quality of life issues arise that offer the municipalities in the region an opportunity. Job creation and investment attraction are the focus of the municipalities. Town and County industrial parks in the west portion of the County draw investments because of lower land prices, lower development costs, access to key infrastructure such as railroad and Highway 14, a strong labour pool, and access to adequate water. That investment draws further investment, and new industrial parks are developed along the transportation corridor through the region to support the expansion of everything from oil and gas manufacturing, to metal and plastics fabrication. The addition of tax dollars allows for consideration of expanded services, amenities, and service levels. Vision 3: Agriculture and Environment Revival: The region focuses on promoting itself as food and environment hub of the province where innovation is put into practice. Alternative energy production and food production are the focus of the economic strategy. Current farming practices are supported, but so are other extended farming practices such as organics, greenhouses, aquaculture, turf to place supply chains, and farmers’ marketing. Innovative forms of residential development like “agrihoods” (urban development with agricultural activity in the development), and “condo farms” (competitive housing prices targeted at a younger population attached to small land plot to grow niche products), contribute to an agricultural revival. A research park that supports new agriculture models is created in conjunction with post-secondary educational institutes to focus on successful practices. Environmental technologies and practices complement these stretch farming goals, with the goal of making our communities self-sufficient economically, and in energy and food production. The addition of tax dollars allows for consideration of expanded services, amenities, and service levels. Vision 4: Recreation Playground: Fishing, hunting, off road vehicles, bird watching, horseback riding, nature walks, golf, camping, the Beaver Hills UNESCO site, canoeing .
