Description

Nordegg is a former coal mining town situated in the foothills approximately 100 km west of the Town of Rocky Mountain House Alberta. Initially, the town of Nordegg featured 50 modern miners’ cottages arranged in a semi-circular pattern around a central business and service core.
Nordegg became a thriving community, reaching a peak population of around 2,500 people, with amenities comparable to any prairie town in the province during that time period. Nordegg survived as a coal-mining town for over 40 years and in its heyday the mine employed 800 workers. As the railroads began to use diesel fuel and the domestic users began using natural gas, the loss of a market for their coal resulted in the closure of the Brazeau Collieries for good in 1955. Soon after the closure of the mine, the town was virtually abandoned.
In the early 1960’s, an Alberta Government Corrections camp was placed in the old town site and almost all of the town’s older buildings were torn down as a result of work projects for the inmates. The existing infrastructure was maintained by Alberta Public Works. The town site of Nordegg was transferred from the Province of Alberta to Clearwater County in 1996. The mine

site was left virtually untouched for several decades aside from some vandalism and pilfering of machinery and metal.
Nordegg has water, sanitary and storm services throughout. Over the years, infrastructure has been upgraded or added through development. However, there are still many areas with aging infrastructure that requires upgrades.
Clearwater County has budget, within the 10-year Capital Budget, to continue development within Nordegg. Projects included, but not limited to, High Density Residential on the east and west side of Stuart Street, Service Commercial, Commercial Lots, Road, and Infrastructure Upgrades.
The following work has been completed on this project recently and has been provided with the RFP document.
•Nordegg Development Plan – Land Use Concept
•Nordegg – Stuart Street (Cemetery to Elizabeth Ave) Preliminary Design Report
