City of Fort St. John sells land to non-profit for just $1
The city of Fort St. John sold the land to the Fort St. John Association for Community Living (FSJACL) for a price of just $1, in compliance with the Community Charter’s guidelines.
FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — The City of Fort St. John is selling lands on 100th Avenue to the Fort St. John Association for Community Living (FSJACL).
For just $1, lands at 96th Street and 100th Avenue will be handed over to the FSJACL, according to a Facebook post from the city at 4:55 p.m. on Wednesday, September 3rd.
This was done in accordance with sections 24 and 26 of the Community Charter, which state guidelines on providing assistance and possession of municipal property.
“The land is being sold under appraised value for the construction of a purpose-built rental building,” part of the post reads.
It goes on to state the space will have a minimum of 50 rental units with 20 per cent of those marked below market value.
FSJACL announced a collaboration with the city on a housing project in the downtown core earlier this year, and Ryan Harvey, communications manager at the City of Fort St. John, confirmed this sale is related to that project.
Harvey told Energeticcity.ca the new sale to FSLACL related to the east side of the lot, whereas an unrelated seniors housing project is already under construction on the west side of the space.
