Gail Temple, Westcorp's Director of Development was on CBC Daybreak this morning discussing the new marina they are building. During that interview she was asked about the development plans they had for the Willow Inn site directly across the road from the new marina and Kerry Park.
Quote:
Q: Tell us about the hotel.
A:Well the hotel, thats been on hold for a very long time with CD-21 kinda going sideways with the city and our land being caught up in that. So now that we finally have some certainty about what we can do downtown, because of this marina we are going to accelerate our plans and we hope to have an approved DP (development permit) by the end of this year.
Q: If everything goes smoothly when would you begin construction?
A: That really depends on what geotech folks tell us about what's underneath the surface there. As you know the water table is really high. So it would all depend on what it is that we do if we preload that, how long does that have to stay there, but regardless we want to have certainty about that by the end of this year.
