note: WMMMMMMM WM?€4lm£M *MMWmM'M TOWN AIMS FOR 20,000 POPULATION Growth plan to be heard by ALC ALDERGROVE - The township is proceeding with its application to remove select lands here froiipij| tlie Agricultural Land Reserve for tlie town's future growth, and conclusion of an agreement to link the town to Matsqui's JAMES sewer plant is expected early in tlie new year. Both are considered urgent matters for growth management and planning in the new community plan currently being assembled by tlie township. The proposed Aldergrove bypass along the nortli side of the town is also contingent on ALR exclusion of some acreage at tlie north side. The Aldergrove Revitalization Committee said "die strongest possible case must be presented to the Agricultural Land Commission" ancl inchide the views of the agricultural community as well as "a financial perspective on die viable size for the community to provide for a full range of services." A population of 20,000 is considered ideal for die town by planners and the township. The ALC requires diat the township hold a public hearing on the application before they take, it under consideration, and the township is looking at a date early in die new year for die hearing. ALC members are not required to attend this hearing but bodi die township and ARC are hoping diat they will respond to die invitation. "It would be interesting to have diem diere," mused coun. Tnidi Campen, Monday. "They recendy used Aldergrove as a workshop discussion exercise, but I'm not sure anyone here would like some of die ideas they came up widi." Continued growth is also expected on die Matsqui side of the town, widi 225 acres currently outside the ALR, particularly if die JAMES sewer service is extended to Aldergrove. Langley and Matsqui. governments are continuing discussion of joint planning options for that area.
