Land price rise in Medicine Hat may curb Norwood development
A Medicine Hat finance committee heard a delegation from the Home Builders’ Association say land prices rose from 22 to 30 dollars per foot in Norwood Crescent View after a 20 percent discount ended. The group urged a 10 percent cap on the 22 dollar base this year and a review next year, arguing higher prices block loans for three bedroom homes. Alderman Edwards and Miller supported limiting land prices, noting city land costs include services and utilities.
