In-house Organization Details
Description of the organization's activities
Alberta's Industrial heartland Association (AIHA) is a non profit association of municipalities dedicated to sustainable eco-industrial development. The Association was created in 1998 by the municipalities who each had land within the geographic area of Alberta’s Industrial Heartland. Alberta’s Industrial Heartland is one of the world’s most attractive locations for chemical, petrochemical, oil, and gas investment. A leading principal of AIHA is promoting responsible development within the region. This includes ensuring the region is ready for development in its infrastructure, services, and land use zoning principles.
