It's first come, first served for the Boomtown Land Rush happening now in Shaunavon.

Shaunavon Town Councillor and Chairperson of the Economic Development Committee, Mike Greenlay, explains The Boomtown Land Rush.

"We had a strategic plan and we went to the community and they did a survey with regards to what people in town wanted. Most of them wanted Economic Development and to grow the town. Further to that, we've gone forward with some initiatives to, sort of, fulfill that strategic plan. So, to the Boomtown Land Rush, that was an initiative to get some action going in our new Bench View Subdivision."

The Town made 13 developed lots at the south end of Bench View available to buyers for $100 each, and, of those 13 lots, Greenlay says five remain.

The steps are easy, submit your application to the Director of Economic Development, write your cheque, get approved and sign the agreement.

Buyers must build to the floor joist stage in 13 months maximum.
