Waskasoo Rec Board Halloween Supper and Dance Huge Success

The majority of people attending were dressed in costumes for the family event with a large number of door prizes.

Portion of Gasoline Alley Removed from Area Structure Plan
Red Deer County has proceeded to remove the westernmost portion of the South Hills Area Structure Plan that is not included in the Intermunicipal Development Plan from the ASP. The area removed is west of Scott Drive in West Gasoline Alley that is proposed as a residential area called Liberty Crossing. The move eliminates the city's ability to dispute the development under the IDP. Council also rezoned the area to a Direct Control District. A number of plans developed by the County have been stalled due to the city initiating disputes under the IDP.

RV Storage and Golf Course at Springbrook Rejected by County

A proposal to build a short-flight, nine-hole golf course and RV storage facility along Highway 2A near the entrance to Springbrook on land that once housed the military bunker was rejected by Red Deer County yesterday. The biggest concern was the RV storage facility that was not considered an appropriate use of highway frontage adjacent to the main entrance of the hamlet.
