What happens when long-time landowners become the face of change in a tight-knit rural community?
In this follow-up episode of the Okotoks Podcast, Carlin sits down with Adrian Munro, president of Highfield Investment Group, and Dennis Inglis, his consultant and longtime friend, to hear the developer's perspective on the proposed Highfield and Rowland Acres developments.
They unpack the history of the land, their motivations, the misunderstood density numbers, and their ongoing efforts to engage with neighbors in Raven Crest and Silver Tip.
With emotions running high and misinformation spreading, the conversation is a revealing glimpse into the balancing act between progress and preservation in Foothills County.
