Parkland County is updating its Municipal Development Plan (MDP) to guide county growth and economic diversification.

The Municipal Development Plan (MDP) is Parkland County’s long-term plan for growth and development. It provides direction on how land is used, where services go and how communities expand. In order to keep up with the evolving needs of our county and its residents, the MDP must be reviewed and updated.

Parkland County is leading this update with the support of O2 Planning and Design. This update will be completed from 2023 to 2024. The project will include three phases of public engagement to ensure that County residents and stakeholders' visions are reflected in the updated document.

Completing this review will help ensure that we grow efficiently and sustainably over the next 30 years. This work will be completed alongside the Parkland County Land Use Bylaw Re-Design.
