Development in our residential and industrial subdivisions has stalled! That is partly due to the economic times, but I think developers should be pushed a bit harder to get these subdivisions moving again!
The Grasslands subdivision on Beiseker's west side has had huge investments made already. It is a shame that Grasslands sits there, its streets, sidewalks, and other infrastructure abandoned! It's not making any money for anybody right now.
If those residential lots were developed, the newly generated property taxes would help Beiseker's overall fiscal health immediately! I do not like the idea of a municipality becoming the developer, but if that's the only way we're going to get some action here, especially in the Grasslands subdivision, then I will push my fellow councillors to consider that option!
