Residents in the Village of Carbon were surveyed regarding interest in a potential new gas station for the village.
AFD Petroleum previously installed an unmanned gas station in the village, which opened in May 2019, though this was pulled out of the village less than two years later.
In April 2021 the Village of Carbon asked residents to fill out a survey about the need for a new gas station in the village.
A total of 116 residents had completed the survey as of May 13.
Of the respondents, 78.4 per cent said they would like to see a gas station brought back to the village while 21.6 per cent said no.
Although many of the respondents noted a gas station would benefit the village, not only giving residents a place to fuel up locally and also drawing traffic into the village, there were viability concerns due to the closure of AFD Petroleum and the former G&B Fuels.
Other concerns noted in the survey included location, associated costs to the village and residents, and light and noise pollution.
