Reeve Kam BlightThe RM of Portage la Prairie made decisions this week for the sale of three parcels of its land. After having received several offers to purchase, council approved sales at the cost of $3,500 for one, over $48,000 for a second, and third for over $60,000. Reeve Kam Blight explains why the land was sold. 

"The municipality recently looked at some land that we deemed to be surplus to the municipality. We felt that would be better to release that for public sale to see if we can generate more use of the land better than what we're doing with it."

Blight notes various realtors submitted applications of the sales.

"We've listed them through Royal LePage who were the successful applicants as far as realtors are concerned. We've received a few different offers, and today we approved three of them."
