Council for the RM of Hanover has given the green light for a developer to build two multi-family housing units in Kleefeld.

Clint Barkman of Barkman Ventures says they plan to build two eightplexes with a single attached garage on each unit. The two-story units will be built between Fourth Street and Beachwood Street.

"The total square footage of the main floor is 5,200 square feet," says Barkman referring to the entire building, "and the second floor will be slightly more because the master bedroom is over the garage."

Reeve Stan Toews says this is good for the community of Kleefeld noting there is always demand for rental units.

"Growth is always good in all our communities and yes, Kleefeld has been growing fairly substantially over the last couple of years," adds Toews

Barkman says they hope to start construction this spring and have tenants moved in by late fall.
