The Town of Blackfalds is moving forward with a senior housing project.

“Everyone needs a place to call home and (Tuesday’s) council decision will help move forward affordable, accessible housing for our seniors,” said Sue Bornn, Blackfalds Family and Community Support Services manager.
The Lacombe Foundation and the Bethany Group will lead the development and operations for the project.
“We look forward to working with The Lacombe Foundation and the Bethany Group to make this project a reality,” Bornn said.
