Redevelopment plan preventing home renovations in the Flats
MEDICINE HAT, AB — The best laid plans often go awry. It’s an age old lesson the City of Medicine Hat is learning after changing the zoning in a neighbourhood in the Flats.
In 2013 the city created the Flats Area Redevelopment Plan in consultation with the community, laying out areas where small businesses could build, where services and schools could go and where single family and multi family dwellings should be built.
The plan went into effect in 2013 but is now having major impacts on some homeowners.
