Proposed Merritt commercial hub submits development permit application

KAMLOOPS — The developers behind the Gateway 286 project on the outskirts of Merritt say they have submitted an application for a development permit, marking a milestone for the venture.

The development will arise at the intersection of Highways 5 and 97C, the site of the former tourist information centre. It is expected to include restaurants, convenience stores, a gas station, dog park and what is promised to be “western Canada’s largest electric vehicle charging station.”

The venture is a partnership between Troika Management, Spayum Holdings and PR Petroleum. It will incorporate “architecture inspired by local and Indigenous design, accessible public spaces fostering community interaction, energy management, water conservation and a lower environmental footprint,” according to a news release.
