Clearwater-North Rocky Major Area Structure Plan
Open House & Meeting 
February 16, 2017
 
Clearwater County would like to invite members of the public to attend an open house & meeting on February 16 regarding the forthcoming Clearwater-North Rocky major area structure plan.  
 
BPS Consulting Ltd. has been contracted by Clearwater County to prepare an area structure plan covering eleven quarter sections north of the Town of Rocky Mountain House and adjacent to the Rocky Mountain House Airport.  Background information and possible future planning directions will be presented at the meeting. When completed, this area structure plan will guide future commercial, industrial and community services land uses, which are to be serviced with community water and wastewater services through a joint servicing agreement with the Town. The area will become a future employment hub, while recognizing that corresponding residential development will take place within the town. The plan will also identify features considered important for conservation.
 
This open house and meeting will provide opportunities for you to input your ideas and concerns with members of the planning team, and for you to ask questions regarding future planning directions. The public open house and meeting will be held as follows:
February 16
Open house: 6:30 – 7:30 p.m.
Meeting: 7:30 – 8:30 p.m.
Location: Christianson Wellness Centre (Subway Room)
 
If you have any questions, please contact Bill Shaw (BPS Consulting) at 403-396-9906 or Dustin Bisson (Clearwater County) at 403-845-4444.
