REGINA — There are two notable agenda items on the Dec. 3 Regina city council meeting.
The Yards:
The City of Regina is planning to move forward with developing The Yards.
Currently it is an empty space south of Dewdney Avenue after CP Rail moved its rail yard downtown.
Administration has requested council approve finding a developer partner to develop the site.
The city plans to fund the project costs through its land development reserve.
Additionally, the city could receive up to $5.5 million from the Canada Housing Infrastructure Fund (CHIF ) — Provincial Territorial Stream.
Credit Foncier Building:
A heritage building located in downtown Regina could be demolished.
Council will consider knocking down the Credit Foncier Building, first built in 1911.
“[The] building is one of the oldest buildings in the [The Victoria Park Heritage Conservation] District and its historical value pertains to its connection to Regina’s pre-war building boom and the evolution of Regina’s financial institutions,” notes the report.
The owners applied to demolish the building, citing damage from a 2023 fire.
Both items will be considered for approval on Wednesday.
