This is Kyle Sloan, Municipal Planner with the Town of Olds.
The Town is preparing an Area Structure Plan for the section of land located north of Hwy. 27 and east of Hwy. 2A. Approximately 265 hectares have been annexed from Mountain View County and have been allocated for commercial and industrial uses to support the Town's economic development.
The Area Structure Plan will provide a framework for subdivision and development of the land. This is done to ensure development is coordinated and meets the needs of the Town in an ordered and logical way.
The project team has been working on preliminary studies, gathering data and analyzing the existing land and adjacent uses to determine the most suitable layout. These studies have helped the project team prepare draft concept plans.
The project team is looking to engage with the public, adjacent landowners, and other interested parties to gather feedback on potential concepts. This will take place at an open house on April 10th from 3-7pm in Council Chambers at the Town Administration Building.
Based on feedback from the public engagement, the project team will refine the concept and develop a final area structure plan. To be kept informed, please visit olds.ca/engagement for project updates and opportunities to engage.
