City’s new plan includes business and population growth
Prince Albert is moving its economic development plan along, and the city is setting its sights on growth, both commercially and in terms of the size of its population.
In a strategic planning session with consultant Christopher Doll, city officials covered what Mayor Greg Dionne described as a broad range of topics. Dionne asked other attendees what they see the city looking like in 2025.
The city is now looking at drawing up development plans that would include a population of 50,000 people.
“What it was about is design a city so if you need a road here, that you’re going to do it in advance of putting a subdivision in, so then you don’t have problems once a subdivision is in, [and] where to put the major arterials in,” Dionne said.
