Available Prime Development Areas
The region is well-positioned with quality infrastructure and municipal services to support investment. The communities have a diverse housing stock and each have demonstrated a willingness to accommodate a variety of housing forms, including bungalow clusters, townhouses and apartment/condominium style multi-family residences.
With a stable population and Baby Boomers as well as early Generation X’ers tipping into retirement, they will be seeking to re-establish their hometown roots, thereby increasing the demand for housing. The following highlights the existing housing and development strengths within the region:
-
Available prime development areas with a full range of municipal services, energy and digital technology
-
Standard potable water and sanitary waste systems and treatment facilities with capacity to support all types of development (available within all three communities)
-
Available lakefront areas for seasonal/permanent residential development
-
Available construction, trades and construction materials supply
-
Available buildings for adaptive re-use
-
The physical environment provides opportunities for passive heating and cooling options to reduce energy consumption
The FDC Region serves as the centre and hub for shopping, culture, commerce, health, industrial supplies and distribution for communities along Highway 106 in Saskatchewan and Highway 10 in Manitoba. This encompasses a large market, drawing over 17,000 people from surrounding communities.
