Potential future shelter site selected by city council
During a closed session on Monday, city council selected a potential site for the future shelter in Red Deer.
According to City officials, the next step in the process will be putting the site forward to the province for consideration.
The site, which is subject to rezoning and public hearing requirements, will not be shared publicly at this time, the City says.
The decision stems from a site selection process that has taken place over the past two months. Administration compiled a list of 96 potential sites with the help of a commercial realtor, members of the public and property owners. This list was then narrowed down over a series of three council meetings, landing on one potential site on Monday during council’s closed meeting.
