Mountain View County Council gave second and third reading to a bylaw to extend the temporary McDougal Flats development, redesignation and subdivision moratorium.

Council made the decision during the February 11 regular council meeting following a public hearing on the bylaw.

The area under moratorium is the proposed floodway identified in Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development's draft McDougal Flats Flood Hazard Study. (See Map of Area)

The moratorium is in place until July 31, 2015 unless otherwise rescinded by Mountain View County Council. The new bylaw extends the current moratorium that was set to expire on February 28.

A number of area residents attended the public hearing with several making presentations to County Council.

Mountain View County Agricultural Services always has plenty going on in terms of program, services, great events and learning opportunities.
