DARC is established to advise on the implementation of the Downtown Area Redevelopment Plan (DARP). The plan’s purpose is to serve as a framework for the redevelopment of Lloydminster’s downtown.
“The committee meets on a regular basis to help be a part of and help direct some of the activities downtown,” said Mayor Gerald Aalbers.
The committee is made up of community interest groups, business stakeholders and individuals to work with the City of Lloydminster to coordinate the implementation and execution of DARP.
“I think communication is key about future development downtown,” said Aalbers. “What are we seeing from an engineering perspective and that continuous improvement downtown.
The selection process for these appointments was held between May 24 and July 18 with a total of one new application and six existing committee members letting their names stand.
Council passed the motion at the Aug. 18 regular council meeting to appoint Kirsten Kenyon to a four-year term beginning Sept. 2. In addition, council has reappointed Tyler Lorenz, Amy Roper, Dill Randhawa, Kerry Million and Eric Valois for two-year terms.
