The boundaries of the Village of Hussar will grow slightly in 2023 as it annexes a 7.8 acre parcel of land at the northwestern edge of the village, the former site of the Hussar School, from Wheatland County.
When the Hussar School permanently closed in June 2016 the land was offered only to Wheatland County, though the village submitted an expression of interest and began the annexation process; the final stage of this process was to hold a public hearing, which the village council held on Thursday, June 30.
“There were no comments or concerns from the public (about the annexation),” Hussar Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Kate Brandt told the Mail.
Following the public hearing, information was sent to Wheatland County council for discussion during the regular Tuesday, July 5 council meeting.
Hussar council requested an effective date of annexation to be January 1, 2023.
