Update June 4
Another really long stretch before updating and a lot has happened since my last update. Again I apologize if you're trying to keep up to date on what's happening in the community and on the Springbrook Waskasoo website.
The infrastructure rehabilitation project that was supposed to have started in May has been significantly delayed. Only one contractor bid on the project and the bid came in about 60% over budget. The County has decided to cut the project into smaller projects and try retendering in the fall. Meanwhile the new fire hall is almost completed and will be functional soon.
The Springbrook Gasoline Alley Area Structure Plan has been delayed along with other plans that the County has on the fringe of Red Deer as the City has decided to dispute virtually all County initiatives close to the City boundary until the annexation issue is settled. The Intermunicipal Committee has met several times with very little progress so it has now gone to mediation.
Our other netMagazine 'Focus on the Red Deer Region' has progressed very well. It now has over 95 pages and is currently getting over 100 hits a day. With so much information on the site and growing, I've spent the last several weeks reorganizing it to make it easier to use. I've also given it a new look and colour scheme to avoid confusion with other sites. In addition, I bought a digital camera and am in the process of taking hundreds of pictures. Virtually all the pictures on the site will eventually be ones I've taken myself to avoid any potential future problems with copyright. I will also be creating my own maps but I will have to get a lot better at the software to do it.
I'm going to be reorganizing the Springbrook Waskasoo site over the next few weeks and adding more information. You will soon notice a major change to the home page.
Hope to have updates sooner next time.
