Innisfail council approves downtown clock project

A Town Clock will soon be on its way to downtown Innisfail.

This, after council approved this week a proposal from the Innisfail Downtown Business Association (IDBA) to construct a Town Clock at the intersection of 50 Avenue and 50 Street in front of the ATB.

The idea was first presented to council last October, with council at the time agreeing to have Town staff look into the scope and cost of the project.

Officials say IDBA has accumulated $12,000 to put towards the clock’s $35,000 total cost, while the Rotary Club of Innisfail has committed $6,000 to the project.
