Habitat project will go ahead . . .

Airdrie Realtor - www.My-realtor.caAfter much battling and posturing by Airdrie Alberta's west side residents, Airdrie's city council voted 3-2 inAirdrie Realtor - Bill Jones favour of the re-designation of 2.37 acres of  land beside Monklands Soccer Park Monday from P-1 to R-4 allowing the construction of Townhouse and Apartment style condominiums.

This piece of land has been used as overflow parking for the past 19 Years and will now be home of Habitat for Humanity's new affordable housing project.  After discussing his project with may Airdrie residents the consensus seems to be that it's a worth project but no one wants it in their backyard.

Bill,

There are a great group of volunteers, but the window of opportunity to select the right purchaser seems very limited. 

I thought about volunteering at one time, but they seemed to have more rules than most government agencies.

However, hopefully, the project will work out.

Hey Bill

I am trying to gain support for a very similar project in St. Albert, Albert right now. I am not part of any group just a family man that can benifit from having Affordable housing in my city. I am wondering if you can help with any suggestions on how I can present to the residents of my community that Habitat is a Fantastic Organization and how this is a great oppertunity for my community. If you have any suggestions please let me know. Thanks very much and have a great day
