“What was, 10 years ago, perhaps a very
sleepy little town is now growing into quite
a sophisticatedmetropolis,” Porteous said.
“The council has a lot of emphasis in their
planning on culture and livability, so I think
that will just continue. Stony Plain has
escaped the glance of a lot of people, and I
think it’s now starting to becomemore of an
urban center and there’s going to be a lot of
newexciting development.”
