As a founding member of Alberta’s Industrial Heartland Association (AIHA), we are excited to introduce the Heartland – an expansive 582 kilometer industrial energy cluster. Recognized as the largest hydrocarbon processing center in Canada and globally, this vibrant hub reflects a staggering $45 billion in industrial investment. One of the world’s most attractive locations for chemical, petrochemical, oil and gas investment.
County lands within the Heartland have been pre-zoned I5, Heavy Industrial, to accelerate development of this important industry within our borders. Access land ready for value-added energy projects with advanced cluster and pre-built CCUS infrastructure.
Access an industry ecosystem of more than 40 companies providing fuels, fertilizers, power, petrochemicals and more to provincial and global consumers.
Within the Heartland lands is a Designated Industrial Zone (IH-DIZ). It will stimulate new investment and job creation while achieving environmental outcomes. Facilities in the IH-DIZ benefit from:
Proximity to industry clusters allows for access to cost competitive feedstock; secure natural gas, liquids and crude oils sourced through the second largest oil and gas reserve in the world.
Access to a labour force of over 840K people within an hour drive.
Connected via 14 major highways and CN Railway’s Class 1 Network (spans Canada and mid-America, connecting to three coasts) directly supporting movement of goods across the country.
Deep regional talent pool with 8 post-secondary institutions and over 130K students.
The County’s Energy Value Chain Incentive supports new construction and expansion projects in Sturgeon County’s portion of the Heartland. Projects could be eligible for a municipal tax exemption between 1.5 and 2.5 per cent of eligible project capital costs.
Note: This incentive is complementary to provincial support programs. Get in touch to learn how to maximize the financial support available for your next investment project in Sturgeon County.
