Major development of Peace River seen
In Grande Prairie Alberta CP reports the Peace River region faces limits on large scale industry from markets yet sits in path of expected population growth. Alberta Research Council director E J Wiggins predicts major development from agriculture to edible protein from Athabasca oil sands, with energy from petroleum natural gas and coal fueling metallurgical and chemical industries. He notes decentralization, cheap land, and raw materials may boost long term growth as proximity to big centers loses edge. Timber and forest resources will sustain substantial saw timber and pulp wood output for years.
