About this episode
How can Chestermere attract more businesses, ease pressure on residential taxpayers and deliver the recreation opportunities residents want?
In this November 4 conversation on CFTR The Rogue, Stephen Jeffrey puts residents’ questions to Mayor Shannon Dean, who steps away from budget discussions to share an update on the City’s priorities.
Dean discusses work with developers to attract retailers and industry, the economic development advisory committee and efforts to bring a hardware store to Chestermere. He also explores the City’s regional advantages and opportunities connected to the nearby De Havilland development.
Looking ahead to 2027, the conversation turns to recreation, funding challenges and the importance of retaining commercial land. Dean also shares his belief that elected officials should take their direction from residents.
The final portion touches on infrastructure, including the twinning of Chestermere Boulevard and upcoming capital budget discussions.
