City of Calgary, Rockyview County sign partnership to accelerate Prairie Economic Gateway
The Prairie Economic Gateway is a major logistics and manufacturing hub planned for the city's southeast, in partnership between Calgary and Rockyview County.
The City of Calgary and Rockyview County have signed a memorandum of understanding with the Canada Infrastructure Bank to expedite the development of the Prairie Economic Gateway, a multi-billion dollar logistics hub. The agreement aims to accelerate the transition from engineering design to construction activities at the proposed site, which spans 1,300 acres along 114 Avenue S.E.
The hub is expected to become one of the largest trade, logistics, and manufacturing centers in Canada, anchored by the Canadian Pacific Kansas City rail network. The agreement establishes a framework for assessing the feasibility of the necessary public off-site infrastructure, including water, wastewater, stormwater, road improvements, and emergency response planning.
The project is expected to create jobs and strengthen Calgary's competitiveness, with initial infrastructure projects anticipated between 2025 and 2031.
