Crossfield's Business Advantage
Crossfield offers a variety of industries from Agriculture to Industrial.
Agriculture
Fertile soils, timely rains and long hours of sunshine mean a bountiful harvest of field crops for area farmers. Wheat, barley, oats and canola are a few of the crops that grace summer fields. Diversified agriculture pursuits vary from straight grain farming operations to intensive production of pork, dairy products, poultry and beef cattle, all of which contribute to Alberta's renowned food production.
Commercial
Our retail sector consists of business people keen on doing business in a rural community spirit. Competitive prices, selection, and a "down home" attitude towards customers draws many to our retail area.
The Crossfield Business Community provides top quality service and products essential for the growing community.
Industrial
The town's location relative to Highway 2, as well as rail and marketing centres in south-central Alberta, makes Crossfield an attractive place for industry to relocate.
Over the past few years there has been a dramatic increase in industrial business establishments. Crossfield continues to grow with a huge variety of companies who make up our highly successful industrial area.
The modern agricultural enterprises of the surrounding communities are the backbone for many businesses and industries which provide agriculturally oriented services and products.
The development of gas and oil resources continues to prompt many firms to supply and service the oil patch. The proximity to several refineries and other oil and gas related industries provide substantial employment opportunities for many area residents.

The process for applying for a business license is as follows:
New businesses must apply for a development permit before applying for a business license. The fee for a development permit is $150.00 within the Central Business District and $225.00 within the Commercial District. Once the development permit has been advertised and approved by the Municipal Planning Commission, within a 30 day range, then the applicant may apply for a business license. This also applies if a business moves from one location to another within the Town.
If you are renewing your license then the Town only requires payment to issue a renewal license for that year.
FEES:
In Town Business License: $40.00
Out of Town Business License: $135.00
Out of Town licenses are available to anyone coming in to do periodical work. Examples would be home builders or other like trades.
24 Hour Licenses are also available through the Town Office for peddlers.
