“It’s all about attracting new residents to our community and helping our local economy rebound from the negative impact of COVID-19 and the downturn in oil and gas prices,” said Ponoka Mayor Rick Bonnett.
"By attracting new residents, encouraging the construction of new houses and encouraging major renovations on existing homes, we can increase our tax and assessment base, and generate new revenue to help our community grow and thrive in the future," said Mayor Bonnett. "Attracting new residents also increases the number of people who shop at our local businesses, which helps build a stronger local economy," he said.
