Residents of Starland County had an opportunity to learn more about the potential Starland Business Park.
An Open House was held on Wednesday, February 26 to present the Area Structure Plan for the Starland Business Park and about 35 came out to the Open House. The Starland Business Park is proposed to be located near Morrin Corner.
An area Structure plan is a statutory plan adopted by a municipality to provide long-range land use planning for parcels of undeveloped land in the county. It guides rezoning and subdivisions, provides an understanding of build-out and ensures consistency for the development path. The plan presented was developed by Stantec Consulting.
“The Area Structure Plan completed by Stantec Engineering will serve as a comprehensive guide for Starland County, outlining strategic land uses and incorporating known assumptions and information. This plan will provide a clear framework for development, ensuring that land is utilized efficiently and sustainably,” reads a statement for Starland County.
“By identifying key areas for industrial, commercial, and residential growth, the plan will help attract new businesses and investments, thereby spurring economic growth. Additionally, the structured approach will facilitate informed decision-making, streamline regulatory processes, and enhance infrastructure planning, ultimately fostering a thriving economic environment within Starland County.”
