EDMONTON The Alberta Wheat Pool Grain Elevator in the Town of Sexsmith has been designated a municipal historic resource by the province. The announcement was made on Thursday. Thanks to the new designation, the elevator is now eligible for grants from the province, the County of Grande Prairie, and the GP Rotary Club, which will make it possible to repaint the building and replace the roof. Alberta Wheat Pool built the elevator in 1961, and received an extension in 1978. In 2004, it was purchased by the Sexmith & District Museum Society and the Town of Sexsmith signed a 20-year lease on the land from Canadian National.
