The Town of Redwater is a vibrant, welcoming community, home to approximately 2,200 people and 120+ businesses. Residents enjoy the healthy, relaxed lifestyle of their picturesque rural surroundings with the added bonus of easy access to urban amenities.
Located only 35 minutes North East of Edmonton and Fort Saskatchewan, we are minutes away from Alberta’s Industrial Heartland. Redwater brings easy access for industry employees, with its close proximity to major transportation routes (Highways 28 & 38 w/rail access), and direct access to Fort McMurray, Alberta via highway 63. The volume of activity that we realize daily from the Oil & Gas sector is expansive.
With growth comes the need for commercial retail development. Family restaurants, fast food chains, grocery stores, coffee shops and staple amenities would all realize great return on their investment in the short and long term. The municipality is dedicated to future development, offering a one year Property Tax Rebate for new residential construction. Revenue received from Business Licenses will be allocated to our Downtown Beautification Program. Celebrating our newly implemented Land Use Bylaw, our municipal team will work with developers and investors alike to provide the most current, relevant and comprehensive information available.
