Langdon High School Site Development
[Rocky View School Division] Trustees voted, Feb. 9, 2017, in favour of spending up to $2,423,185 from the cash-in-lieu fund for construction of site services at the future high school site in Langdon. In 2006, Rocky View Schools and Rocky View County jointly acquired 45 acres of land on the southern boundary of Langdon with plans to develop it to accommodate a future high school and recreation facilities. That property was swapped with an adjacent land-holder in 2012 to provide frontage onto Railway Ave. for the school/recreation parcel. Engineering estimates for site preparation – including access road, services, surface work, ball diamond, playing fields and storm water facility – are $6.2 million, with RVS’ share of that cost being $3 million.
