Town of Westlock Breaks Ground at Southview Subdivision 

Westlock, AB – The Town of Westlock is excited to announce the groundbreaking of the Southview Subdivision Project. This development project is intended to address the urgent need for residential lots in the community.

The subdivision will integrate ten (10) new lots within the existing residential community of Southview, enhancing connectivity and providing a cohesive living environment for residents. The groundbreaking marks the beginning of the required infrastructure improvements for the project, including the extension of 99 Avenue and 93 Street. 

The first lots are anticipated to be available for pre-sale in fall 2024.

Key highlights of the Southview Subdivision Project:

Prime Location: Offering an ideal setting for residential development, with easy access to Highway 44, and in close proximity to the Westlock Healthcare Centre, parks, the Rotary Trail, Community Garden, and schools.

Project Objective: Addressing the shortage of available lots through strategic infrastructure investment and subdivision and improving existing neighbourhood connectivity.

Project History: The land for the subdivision was purchased by the Town in the summer of 2023. Earlier in July, the project also received rezoning and subdivision approval by Town Council and the Municipal Planning Commission, respectively.

Pre-Sale Availability: Lots are anticipated to be available for pre-sale in fall 2024.

"Today's groundbreaking is one of our many planned strategies to address our community's housing needs, provide much-needed housing options, and strengthen our town.” Jon Kramer, Mayor. “The Southview Subdivision Project represents our commitment to thoughtful growth and development that benefits all residents.”
