Calgary’s $7B Economic Gateway | Calgary News

Calgary and Rockyview County are teaming up with the Canada Infrastructure Bank to launch the Prairie Economic Gateway — a massive $7 billion logistics and manufacturing hub set to become one of Canada’s largest inland ports, anchored by the CPKC rail line. This multi-billion dollar project, covering 1,300 acres southeast of Calgary, aims to fast-track critical infrastructure like water, wastewater, stormwater systems, and road upgrades — with key milestones hitting as early as 2028. The agreement, a formal memorandum of understanding, signals strong confidence in Calgary’s economic future and is designed to unlock private investment, with every public dollar expected to attract nearly nine dollars in private funding. Over the next decade, the project could create more than 30,000 jobs and transform the region into a national trade powerhouse.
