CALGARY – Hundreds of people packed a town hall meeting at a northeast hotel on Wednesday to voice their concern over the proposed redevelopment of the Harvest Hills Golf Course.
The land has been sold to Cedarglen Homes, who will continue to operate it as a golf course this year but plan to develop a series of condominiums, townhomes and single family home afterward.
The land the nine hole golf course sits on is currently zoned as recreational, and Cedarglen Homes will have yet to apply to the City of Calgary before they can redevelop it.
“A lot of our fellow neighbours believe that this is a done deal, that they just have to let it happen,” says Stuart Cantrill from the group Calgarians for Responsible Development. “What we’re trying to message to them is, [Cedarglen Homes] hasn’t even applied for [any permits]… this is not a done deal and absolutely this can be stopped.”
No one representing Cedarglen Homes was present at the meeting.
