City of Medicine Hat now accepting proposals to repurpose sea cans

Jan 13, 2025 | 9:43 AM

Residents, businesses and community groups are now able to submit their ideas to repurpose one or more of the eight seacans that were recently removed from Medicine Hat’s Towne Square.

Proposals must highlight a balance of community benefit and taxpayer value, the city said in a Monday news release.

City staff have developed 10 criteria within a scoring rubric to gauge the balance of these and eight other elements.

Financial compensation could be provided to aid in cost recovery, the release added. Thousands of dollars were spent on moving the sea cans out of the downtown square.

Applications will be accepted online until Feb. 21 at 3 p.m. Applicants must be a resident of Medicine Hat and the project must be located within city limits.
