Town of Olds

The Alberta Utilities Commission has closed the initial application by Synapse Data Center for its proposed project in the Town of Olds.

The Town of Olds has been looking at the RCMP long-term plan for a couple of years now.

The Olds Humane Society is going to have the opportunity to turn the Town's former municipal enforcement building into its first actual established facility in the community.

Mayor Dan Daley says Jason van Gaal, Founder and CEO of Synapse, provided a snap shot of some of the processes and plans for the project going forward during the Town of Olds council meeting on Monday, February 23rd.

Olds council has approved rezoning of a section of land in the north east corner of Town from Future Urban (FUD) to Light Industrial (ILD).

A total of about 200 to 250 people attended this week's community open house sessions held by the Town regarding the proposed data centre projects for Olds.

There will be two separate times for the drop-in event on Wednesday, February 4th at the Olds Sportsplex in the foyer with one from 11am until 1pm and another from 5pm until 7 o'clock. It will be the first of several open houses the Town of Olds will hold as the projects move through their review processes.

Synapse Data Center will be hosting a community information session on Thursday, February 5th on the Olds College campus. It will run that evening from 6 o'clock until 8 in Lecture Hall 316 in Building #2 of the Werklund Agriculture and Technology Center.
