It probably won't be long until the Lone Blockbuster is no longer so lonely. Current mayor [[Sharkfynn1012]] has plans to build a residential/commercial area across the road from Lone Blockbuster. This is part of a long term plan to turn the Lone Blockbuster area into a proper town. While currently the Blockbuster building and car park are undergoing renovations those repairs are nearing completion. The Vina Project includes plans for a residential industrial area with a small park. There are also possible plans to develop the [[Target Canada]] site into a trading depot and town service centre. | It probably won't be long until the Lone Blockbuster is no longer so lonely.
