Red Deer County and the Town of Penhold are hosting an Open House on Wednesday night, November 23rd for residents to learn more about the Town’s annexation plans and the Intermunicipal development area.

Officials say the annexation process will provide the Town an opportunity to expand its boundaries and acquire more land to accommodate future growth and to ensure an adequate supply of land for long-term residential, commercial and industrial development. The lands proposed for annexation would provide for an additional 30 years of growth.

It has also been recognized by both municipalities that there is a need for an Intermunicipal Development Plan or IDP that recognizes mutual future growth areas to provide direction for future land development within the area immediately surrounding the Town of Penhold.

The Open House will be a drop-in format, with both Town and County staff on hand to answer your questions.  It will take place from 5;30-7:30pm in the Mezzanine Level of the Penhold Multiplex.
