Friday afternoon was an historic day for Kindersley. Wynn Sturm, his daughter and heir Lana, of Marathon Equities, and the architect Wojtect, participated in a formal sod turning ceremony with us to celebrate the construction of Brookhollow Estates. There was good crowd in attendance for both the sod ceremony and the presentation in the Chambers.

| Brookhollow Estates Sod Turning Site, November 29, 2013 |
A ceremony like this has long been needed in Kindersley. For too long housing has been a problem in Kindersley. Today marks the beginning construction for new homes of all types. In the first stage 58 lots are for sale along Cooper Way, Halpenny Road, and Brookhollow Blvd. The lots range in price from $92,900 - $119,900. Also beginning construction in the spring will be 3 condominium towers with 62 units each over 4 floors totaling 186 condo units. The initial designs look very good for the condos. The condos are expected to sell for about $280,000 - 285,000. I should mention that Marathon Equities sets and enforces architectural controls. The condo will be Senior accessible with wider doors and elevators.
Because yesterday was Black Friday in the States, and it seems to be moving to Canada, Wynn and his group are offering 5% off the sale of a lot for someone who wants to build their own home. If you are a home builder and buy 3 or more lots then you receive 10% off. Forms are available at the Town Office.
Also announced yesterday was talks between Wynn and his group and a builder who wants to build a Senior's complex. Those talks are exploratory and it remains to be seen what the result will be.
One more thing: we are still working with the province to retain the $1 million grant towards affordable housing. Affordable housing is significant need and we are working towards the provision of such housing.
