Swift Current will see as many as 400 new residents in the next couple of years.

     City Council has approved the subdivision of lots in what will be called the Saskatchewan Valley area.

     Trevor Feicht, Manager of Engineering and Planning Services, says they will be getting the lots ready for expansion in the northeast area, by the hospital.  He says some of the lots will feature multi-family units, while others will have single family dwellings.  A green space will go through the subdivision as well. 

     Feicht adds that this year the city will be doing some grading of the lots, in hopes that they will be ready for servicing in 2009.
