Two new projects in the RM of Morris are planned to begin in 2017.

Fundraising for the construction of a new fire hall in Rosenort is nearing the midway point, as $500,000 has been raised to date. Reeve Ralph Groening says a fundraising chair and vice-chair are in place, and a goal of $1,000,000 has been set.

The RM is ready to go public, requesting people help with the construction of the new fire hall.

Four locations are being considered for the new location, and discussions regarding one particular lot are nearing an official agreement. The next step is to begin the subdivision process.

Meanwhile, after receiving a grant from the Manitoba Historical Resources Department, a historical heritage website for the RM is now in the works.

A website like this is important for the region, and Groening notes that it is necessary to profile our history and who built each community.
