The town’s steady residential growth reflects our community’s appeal, driven by our investments in key infrastructure projects such as the Community Recreation Facility and the new Public Works Building. These efforts ensure we can support current and future residents while preserving our strong quality of life.”
Michelle Levasseur, Economic Development Officer, added, “For a town of nearly 20,000, Stony Plain’s permit figures are impressive. Although we may be smaller than some neighbouring jurisdictions, our strategic development efforts and strong sense of community allow us to compete effectively in attracting new residents and businesses. These numbers reflect the success of our balanced approach to growth and the continued strength of our unique community feel.”

As the town continues to see interest across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors, the investments made in community amenities and infrastructure are positioning Stony Plain for sustained, future-ready growth in the years to come.
