What might the Project look like?
The City of Medicine Hat has renderings of the approved Medicine Hat Southwest Substation. These renderings are designed to assist with understanding how the proposed project may look on the landscape from three separate viewpoints.
Each file contains three images:
Existing landscape
Proposed infrastructure
Proposed infrastructure (yellow)
These files are large and will take time to download. Due to differing internet speeds or the method of downloading, we have provided two types of files – high resolution and lower resolution.
