Flooded Calgary Homes To Be Demolished; Officials Looking For Land-Use Ideas

The Canadian Press, 09 Dec, 2015 01:05 PM
    CALGARY — Government officials have decided 17 Calgary homes damaged after massive flooding in 2013 will be demolished.
     
    Now the city and the province are looking for advice on what to do with the properties.
     
    The Alberta government previously paid $49 million for the houses along the Elbow River in the southwest part of the city with plans of demolishing them.
     
    The idea was put on hold after the NDP swept the Tories out of power in the provincial election.
     
    Municipal Affairs Minister Danielle Larivee says she doesn't know when the tear down will happen but it's expected to cost about $1.2 million.
     
    She says residents in the area can give their feedback by email and at a public meeting in January.
