Familiar foes to battle for mayor’s chair in Penhold
The race for the mayor’s seat is heating up in Penhold.
Incumbent Dennis Cooper, who’s served on town council since 1995, is running for re-election, he says.
“Basically, I’ve been mayor for seven years and been working towards listening to our citizens and addressing their concerns and their problems,” says Cooper. “Our town has moved forward a lot. We’ve gone over 3,000 people, we’ve lowered taxes, we’re working on water issues. There are a lot of things happening in our small little community — we just signed an IDP [for the first time] with Red Deer County.”
Cooper adds the Town will soon be annexing nine quarters of land, something he’d like to see through.
