The RM of Portage la Prairie's removed a piece of property from its books.

Last week, Reeve Kam Blight announced they found a buyer for the former Fas Gas outlet on the Trans Canada Highway, west of Portage.

"We did put the Fas Gas property up for sale quite some time ago, and we've had one offer on it, and we've decided to accept the offer."

Blight says the RM sold the property to Darren Faurschou, and outlines why they accepted his offer.

"Mr. Faurschou's going to be responsible for the removal of the tanks, and any environmental clean-up that may take place. We just felt that it was best to get that property working in our favour, and allow someone to use it, and hopefully get a business up and going. Hopefully, it's a win-win for all parties involved."
