Overview
Infrastructure is a critical part of Alberta’s Recovery Plan as a key driver of our economy, public services and government’s finances.
In summer 2020, we invited Albertans to get involved in ensuring the province has the right infrastructure in place to meet future needs. Your input was used to inform development of the Infrastructure Accountability Act and the 20-Year Strategic Capital Plan.
The act will guide how government prioritizes capital planning and spending, while the plan will help guide government’s infrastructure decisions over the long-term. This includes all types of infrastructure supported by the provincial government, including:
- schools, universities and colleges
- healthcare facilities
- roads and bridges
- rural broadband and irrigation projects
- infrastructure that supports natural resource development
