A year after millions of dollars were spent on assessments of homes affected in the flood ravaged community of High River, mould continues to be an issue.
The Hamptons in High River experienced extensive damage after the June 2013 floods, when flood waters were trapped in the neighbourhood after a man-made burm was built around it.
After millions of dollars were spent on assessments, people were allowed to return home.
Some people have already chosen to completely rebuild, while others are waiting on the province to decide what to do next.
The Mayor of High River, Craig Snodgrass, will be meeting with the premier and Municipal Affairs this weekend.
“The discussion centres around the amount of money that’s being given to homeowners in order to get rebuilt. Because right now it’s not enough to be rebuilt to the architectural standards that are in some of these neighbourhoods.”
After their discussion, homeowners will have a better idea of the amount of compensation they can expect and will have the personal choice of whether to repair, or start over.
