Construction Acitivity Continues in Town ....

Anyone visiting the Carnduff Ball Park recently has seen first hand the construction activity happening on the west side of town. The Town of Carnduff has committed to the construction of 6th Street West which will see twelve residential lot's that will look onto the Carnduff Ball Park. The current construction activity includes the installation of the water and sewer utilities. For more information on these lot's, please contact the Town Hall at 482-3300.

Phase 1 of New Pool Near Completion

Work to Phase 1 of the new swimming pool is near completion. Phase 1 included the construction of a new paddling/toddlers pool. It is complete with some fun water games, etc. This past Friday saw the posts for the fence installed with a work bee to finish the remainder of the fence and decking set to take place this week. With any luck, it should be "open for business" in the next week! This will be a welcomed addition for many young toddlers as well as their parents. Congratulations to the fundraising group for their hard work.

Phase 2 which includes the reconstruction of the main pool area is in the fundraising stages. Stay tuned for more fundraisers as details unfold!

Are you are interested in commercial or industrial development or maybe you are thinking about expanding your existing business? If so, we invite you to visit Carnduff and explore the great opportunity that we have to offer. Carnduff is a great place to live, residents take pride in the friendly and close environment that the community offers. It is also a great place to do business which you can see with our long list of businesses in our community. http://www.carnduff.ca/business.html In addition, the Town of Carnduff has an attractive Commercial Development Tax Abatement program in place for new development within the Town of Carnduff. It provides immediate tax relief for new businesses locating in the community.
In 2008 Carnduff finished development of our newest subdivision. That was the completion of the Industrial Subdivision located on the northeast side of Carnduff. The development includes a number of lot's varying in size from 1.8 to 3.4 acres.
There are still a number of lot's available in this subdivision for development. If you would be interested in discussing this property or the Commercial Development Tax Abatement program, you are invited to contact the Town Hall at 482-3300.
