Council for the RM of Ste. Anne gave the green light to a developer to build two fourplexes in the community of Richer.

Art Bergmann, Reeve for the RM of Ste. Anne, says council was pleased with the idea when the builder brought it forward.

"We had a local entrepreneur come in, he purchased a property somewhat over two acres on Dawson Road sort of across from our fire hall, with the intention to put up two fourplexes on that property. They’re going to be ground level like only one level and the plan looked good."

Bergmann adds they presented the idea to the community of Richer and says there was no opposition from residents. He notes it’s nice to see developers taking interest in building there.

"Richer is a growing community and the intent of these fourplexes is probably going to be for people that are retirees and it’s not going to be a condominium to be sold, It’s looking good and we’re delighted to see the community growing."
