Stettler town council approved the rezoning of the property on 52 Street as requested by the Sharebear Playschool Society in order to give them the opportunity to remodel and expand the facility.
Council gave the green light to the rezoning following the third reading of the bylaw at their regular meeting on Tuesday, July 7.
The initial application by the society was supported by 53 signatories from the community, but concerns were also expressed regarding the flow of traffic in the area and the potential dangers it may pose for small children.
Within its current zoning, the property did not meet the required specifications to be transformed into a playschool.
Elgin Eagle M2 is unanimously approved as the new street sweeper
The town council awarded the 2015 street sweeper tender to Joe Johnson Equipment for the purchase of an Elgin Eagle M2 with a purchase price of $307,777 as opposed to Haul All Equipment’s model Wayne Gladiator.
After both models were test driven in Camrose and Red Deer, the council came to the decision that though the Elgin Eagle M2 was a little more expensive at the time of purchase, it would be of better value in the long run.
