T
he District of Elkford is work-
ing hard to prepare for your
investment. We've overhauled
our downtown zoning to be flex-
ible, and upgraded infrastructure
will help your businesses thrive.
We've also added downtown
tax exemptions and simplified
our approval processes so
residential, commercial and light
industrial development is faster
and easier than ever before.
Elkford land is increasing in
value while remaining the most
affordable in the Elk Valley, and
our regional economy shows long-
term growth, increasing demand
for local services, businesses,
industrial and commercial
development, and housing. Our
community is safe and clean with
low crime rates, crisp mountain air
and 360-degree mountain views—
and our population reports a
significantly higher income than
the provincial average.
