275 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE APRIL 2020 meet increasing demand? Choy: “We’ve had huge housing spurts. Last year, we had over 240 housing starts; quite a few were high density. We’re looking at densifying our population as well to stop the urban sprawl; making sure we can provide efficient and better services, and we’re more densified versus having a sprawl mentality. We also have an aging population in the community. We have always been a farming hub for many farmers that come to do commerce, so as they retire they’re coming into Stony Plain. We have a care facility as well as two private companies that are building residences for seniors. One is in partnership with us for the library – it will be located on the main floor and there will be five storeys of seniors’ living units above. In addition, the Meridian Housing Foundation is building a 55-plus for seniors with 63 units; right now they have a waiting list of 150 people. And another project is being built along the highway with 87 units, so that will help out with the huge demand in that market.
