The Creston Valley Has Prospered Over the Past Year
Last year the Creston Valley experienced an increase in residential development as three major housing projects got underway.
?Our community has seen an influx of people from Alberta and a lot of baby-boomer retirees,? said Joe Snopek, mayor of Creston. ?I think the increase in residential development is partly a reflection of that trend. We have also had a couple of larger businesses looking at Creston and we could likely see some well-known stores coming to the valley in the future.?
Small business has also increased in Creston over the last year?especially home-based businesses. In January alone, the Town of Creston issued 18 new business licences.
The Town of Creston is currently in the process of working on a strategic three-year plan for the community.
