Wheatland County residents are voicing concerns regarding plans for the Badlands Motorsport Resort (BMR) to be developed on the border of Wheatland and Kneehill counties. The proposed $400 million project would occupy 172 acres within Kneehill County, located along Red Deer River watershed with frontage along Rosebud River. The site boundaries parallel those of Wheatland County on west and south side, and is roughly four km from the Hamlet of Rosebud. Wheatland County Council voted 4-3 against supporting a letter to Dickson requesting the EIA, opting instead to not take a position in the request. That motion was defeated by the majority of council,” said Wheatland County Reeve Amber Link.
