Regina Revitalization Plan Announced

Mayor Pat Fiacco announced on April 19, 2011, a "new vision" for the future of prime property in the heart of Regina.

He released a concept study of what the CP container yard lands south of Dewdney Avenue and the current Mosaic Stadium site could like if developed with commercial and residential buildings, as well as a multi-purpose facility that is "not only for football."

He also announced the creation of a corporation called Regina Revitalization Inc., which will be responsible for co-ordinating efforts around redeveloping the area. But details of how that entity will work, what could be developed on the sites and how that development will be financed remain to be seen.

Fiacco unveiled a video that explained that with the development of the Global Transportation Hub, the CP container yards are relocating and "prime land" could be available for development including an entertainment facility. Then, Mosaic Stadium could be demolished and new affordable and market-rate housing could be developed on its site.
