Introduction – The Importance of Community Sustainability Retention and growth of existing businesses, new business attraction, jobs, investment, residential development and new commercial/industrial assessment – these are just some of the benefits to be realized through a well-focused economic and community development strategy. They are also essential, some would say critical, for the Town of Beaumont at this point in time. Long term community sustainability depends on the ability to maintain a healthy balance and harmony between economic, municipal fiscal/financial, social and environmental sustainability. While each is equally important, many would argue that economic sustainability is the ‘engine’ that ultimately drives and sustains a community. Building Blocks of a Sustainable Community 3 NICHOLS Applied Management Research has shown that ‘communities of choice’ are increasingly replacing ‘communities of necessity’ for many highly-skilled workers in the more suburban parts of North America. These individuals are increasingly looking to live in affordable, high quality of life communities – with excellent recreational amenities and clean, safe and family-oriented neighbourhoods – but they are also looking to minimize commuting times associated with travel to and from work. Beaumont’s well-developed social and community infrastructure, natural environment and close proximity to Alberta’s main urban centres all contribute to the Town’s overall quality of life.
