Council touts benefits of new entertainment district at Monday’s meeting

To clear up any confusion regarding Kaun, Prince Albert’s latest development. Blake Edwards asked the administration to clarify the details of the yard’s development and what the addition of the district means to the city at a council meeting on Monday.

According to Edwards, just one year after Signature Developments made a soft announcement to interested corporate investors, 75 percent of its land in the Yard District has already been sold.

“There are a lot of very exciting businesses being built there,” says Edwards. “This was not only a desire of the community, but it seems that the community needed development like this.”

Director of Financial Services, Ramona Fauchoux, gave several examples of what the local tax burden could be for various companies that could develop into brand new entertainment districts. A hotel is currently under construction for The Yard, and once operational, the city will receive approximately $200,000 in taxes annually. Examples of businesses that may see a future uptick in this location include a car dealership with a $180,000 municipal tax, a fast food restaurant with a $50,000 municipal tax, and a strip mall. Generates approximately $90,000 in city taxes.

“So this is four examples of buildings, and there are about 15 lots out there,” Edwards said. “Look, that’s great. It’s well done, beautiful aquatics center planned so far and he’ll be supporting two rinks.”

Fauchoux said Prince Albert has fallen by six in the approved per capita debt limit since the city’s approval to extend the city’s debt limit to $120,000 compared to other cities in Saskatchewan. ranked first.

Mayor Greg Dionne said he has in mind that No. 1 and No. 2 on the list are the cities of Saskatoon, with Moose Jaw at No. 7.

“It’s an unfortunate reality that we have to take on some debt in order to move our business forward and move our city forward,” Edwards said. “We’re really pretty low in comparison.”

To conclude the study, Edwards asked Planning Director Craig Giddinger to describe the services involved in purchasing the land that will be used to develop the new aquatic and playing field recreation center at the yard. I asked for

Although the list is not exhaustive, Gidinger has made clearing, lighting, water, storm drains, sewers, curbs, sidewalks, and widening of Marquis Road between raw land and city-purchased land. I pointed out some differences.

After being contacted by Geidinger, Mr. Edwards confirmed that he will submit a formal inquiry to the Administration regarding the site and the services it contains, which will be open to the public in the near future.
