Greater Downtown

Greater Downtown is the connected heart of Red Deer. It brings together Historic Downtown, Capstone, Railyards and Parkvale - four neighbourhoods with different character, shared opportunity, and a common future.

Whether you are here to live, work, visit, host an event, open a business, or learn what is changing, this is your starting point for information about downtown services, events, governance updates, business resources, and opportunities to get involved.

What’s happening

City support continues through the Downtown governance changes. As the downtown Business Improvement Area moves through the disestablishment process, The City of Red Deer continues essential services, support for downtown public spaces and support for downtown events during the transition.

Council has also approved a downtown-focused Committee of Council to help guide future governance discussions and provide advice on downtown businesses, public spaces, events, and long-term revitalization.
