Province helps fund lot clean-up

The province will help fund the clean-up of the Sew it Yourself Shop site on 102 street.

The old building at 102 street and 101 avenue has been vacant for several years and the province will be providing $14,170 to help start the clean-up.

Through the Brownfield Renewal program, the City will get the money for environmental investigations needed to clear the land and make it possible for the land to be developed.

The Brownfield Renewal Funding Program is designed to encourage more
brownfield redevelopment across British Columbia. Brownfields are
abandoned, vacant, derelict, or underutilized commercial and industrial
properties, where past actions have resulted in actual or perceived
contamination.
