The Eastern Alberta Trade Corridor
Eastern Alberta is home to more than 80 municipalities stretching from the United States border in the south to the vast oil reserves in Alberta’s northeast and from the Saskatchewan border to just east of Alberta’s two largest cities. It is a resource rich area featuring safe roads and a well-developed infrastructure system that is ripe for investment.
Building on this strategic location and its existing strengths,-- a major focus is branding eastern Alberta as the Eastern Alberta Trade Corridor (EATC). EATC’s purpose is to establish the region as an international trade corridor and leverage the economic benefit of the oil sands for all eastern Alberta communities by facilitating trade along the corridor and encouraging growth in the nodes along the corridor. The Eastern Alberta Trade Corridor is an initiative of three regional economic development alliances: Palliser Economic Partnership, Battle River Alliance for Economic Development and Alberta HUB. |
