Getty plan unsettles neighbors near Stettler
Alberta Premier Don Getty faces opposition from Kay and Garvin Anderson who seek an Alberta Planning Board order to stop building a home on prime agricultural land near Stettler. They argue the project would remove farmland and set a bad zoning precedent while residents fear manure odor and farm noise. Approved subdivision was granted by the Red Deer Regional Planning Commission last month.
