The idea of a Business Revitalization Zone in downtown High River is dead. The town manager declared a petition against the zone valid and that means council cannot consider it for two years.
A proponent of the B-R-Z Dr Dan Campbell grudgingly gave the "no" side credit.
He says they certainly got out to every business.
Campbell says 21 businesses changed their minds, first signing the pro-BRZ petition and then signing the petition against its establishment.
He says they were just a group of people who wanted to see something positive happen in the core.
