A NeepawaVotes.com user asked:

What are your plans for development of the CN Property?

The Candidates responded:

If, and it is still a very big if, the Town of Neepawa can obtain the CN property, people tell me it should be a mix of highway commercial (west side), a long section of parks and paths along the east side and some residential in between. This property ties in very nicely with the museum, the day care and the Trans-Canada Trail.

My vision for the CN property once the town owns it is:
1. there needs to be a property swap with a property owner at the south end to square both his and the CN property from the survey plan of the property that I have seen.
2. discussion with property owners at the south end who have expressed an interest in expanding their businesses but cannot unless they are able to purchase some property
3 discussion with the museum on what they would like to aquire for expansion
4. identify the areas that need re mediation and what will be required to reclaim
5. discussion within council of a plan for firehall, recreation, housing, highway commercial area along Highway 5
6. take the preliminary plan to the commnuity for further input and changes before any final decision is made as this will be one of the more important decisions made by council and the community for the long term development of our community
7 Implement the plan with appropriate zoning changes and subdivision into lots for development

As a Councillor I would be open to development on the CN site as it surely is a valuable piece of property. I would be very supportive of someone finding a use for it.
