10 Best Communities

Jun 1, 2009

Have you always just assumed you’re working in the best place for your business? Ever considered a move? Planning to open a new location, start up a business or buy an existing one?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then our Best Communities for Business database is a good place to start, if only to get an idea of what else is out there. We surveyed more than 30 Alberta communities, comparing rental rates, land costs, taxes, licensing fees, market size and growth rates, transportation access, average incomes, cost of living, post-secondary institutions, capital projects and more. Just click on any of the towns and cities on the map below for the most up-to-date information.
