Together for Tomorrow: Growing Our Economy, Supporting Our People

To build a more affordable and resilient Medicine Hat, we must expand our tax base by fostering a thriving business environment. That starts with cutting through unnecessary red tape and making it easier for entrepreneurs, investors, and local businesses to succeed. When we streamline processes and remove barriers, we send a clear message: Medicine Hat is open for business. A strong and diverse business community not only creates jobs and drives innovation—it also generates the revenue needed to support vital public services without overburdening residents.

 

By encouraging growth and attracting new investment, we can stabilize our economy and address affordability head-on. A broader tax base means more resources for housing, infrastructure, and community programs—benefiting every corner of our city. This is about smart, strategic development that puts people first and ensures Medicine Hat remains a place where families thrive, businesses grow, and opportunity is within reach for all.
