A couple of trailers have shown up on site:

There will also be a signficant boost in property tax revenue for the jurisdictions they are constructed in.

There seems to be a contradiction in reasoning here. Either AI will be so powerful it threatens most white collar professions, or these massive data centres will only ever just be used to turn out slop. It can't be both. So which is it? If it is the latter, as long as you don't invest in an AI...

Are you referring to building construction? If so, it is a mix in both. In West District, the only fully concrete buildings are: - Gateway 1 &2 - Plaza 1 & 2 - Oak & Olive - Parkside - The Quarters / HQ Wood frame are: - Mulberry - Newberry 1 & 2 - Adelaide 1 & 2 - Mondrian 1 &2 I presume...

Next week the new Council will be looking at the budget for the year. Note that this is just the final year of the 4-year overall budget passed in 2022. The document outlining everything can be found here: https://pub-calgary.escribemeetings.com/filestream.ashx?DocumentId=338952 Why is this...

Selfishly I hope they drop all barriers to Chinese EVs... I want a Xaomi XU7 so badly!

Farkas's policy platform actually called for an increase in 5A funding I think, to match the current mode split Calgary sees.

Not located within the town center that this thread is focused on, but a Hyundai and Genesis dealership is being proposed down near 162nd Ave: https://dmap.calgary.ca/?p=DP2025-05445
