Additional industrial proposals are advancing near Fermor Avenue and Green Acres, including one significant proposal encompassing approximately 400 industrial lots. “People are coming to us,” Mayor Therrien says.“We do not have to do much advertising because our location is prime.” That appeal is reinforced by Springfield’s access to two national railways, proximity to the Winnipeg Water Works, and significant electrical infrastructure, including the Louis Riel Substation.

RDI Land Co is behind one of four new residential subdivisions approved within the RM. Council recently approved phase 1 of RDI’s Dugald West development, which includes a mix of single-family, duplex, and multiple-family housing along with highway-oriented commercial sites. Subsequent phases are anticipated once water and sewer capacity is available.
