Representatives from the Town of Coaldale have been eager to see work begin on the new detachment.

Chief Administrative Officer Kalen Hastings told LNN in June that the information they’d been given at that time would have the project on track for construction beginning sometime in the spring of 2019, which fits with the timeframe laid out by Henry.

Hastings explained a development permit worth $14 million was taken out by the architectural firm on behalf of the federal government back in March.

The site, which has been purchased by the federal government, is along Highway 3 on the east side of the bedroom community.

“It’ll be great for the community once it’s constructed,” Hastings said at the time. “There’ll be over 50 jobs working out of that building, so it’ll carry huge economic spinoffs for our community.”
