Big news more is here! The Crowsnest Centre Site is sold.

Last night CAO Myron Thompson in his report to council stated that there should be an announcement this week on the old Crowsnest Centre site.

I am told that some time in just a matter of days we will be receiving another rousing issue of the Mayor's corner, gloating about all the good things they have done or going to do for our community.

Keep in mind this is an election year, the local politicians at least the one's seeking re-election will be spending the next seven months convincing us that they are critical to maintaining the "momentum" moving forward. Come September/October we are going to hear again and again how important it will be that there  be continuity within the council ranks. To keep the confidence of the Coal miners, Hotel developers, Quebec manufacturers, and to conclude the Annexation process in our community.

I believe that the people in the Crowsnest Pass are too smart to buy this very old political game. At the end of the day is any company that's serious about spending ten's of millions up to $5-600 million to develop mines, hotels, or manufacturing plants in the Crowsnest Pass, going to back out because the make up of council changes? I don't think so.

If local council's were that important to this process wouldn't the Riversdale group have the MD of Ranchlands council on board?

Note: Latest Update on the Crowsnest Centre Site From the Pass Promoter's very own Joni MacFarlane

A large construction company has just been awarded the sale and contract of the former Crowsnest Centre site.

Council voted unanimously on Jan. 22 to enter into a sale and construction agreement with Medican General Contractors.

Started in Medicine Hat as a concrete company, Medican began building single-family homes and condominiums and was one of the first builders to introduce luxury condos for homeowners aged 40 and up.

They’ve now expanded across the country with completed condo developments in Quebec, Saskatchewan, B.C. and Alberta.

The municipality said details of the sale would be released to the public shortly.
