Blog Watching, week ending May 8, 2016

The prospect of redevelopment for the Atlin Terminal/Cow Bay area found a wide audience this week, with our notes related to a land deal set to close between the City and the Port proving to be popular, topping the list of five of the last seven days.

The Pacific NorthWest LNG file continues to find a large audience whenever a new item is introduced, this week we outlined some management changes for the proposed LNG Terminal proponent.

Another proposed project for the North Coast caught the attention of readers, with a fair bit of interest found in our look at the early stages of consultation from AltaGas and their plans for Ridley Island.

Two items from City Council also found an attentive audience this week, with Mayor Lee Brain noting that the City will soon have a new head for the RCMP detachment in the community, while the City of Prince Rupert put out the help wanted sign for Manager for the City's Recreation complex.

However, the top item of the week takes a look at the wide ranging plan for development of the Atlin lands in Cow Bay as the Port prepares to make significant additions to the popular community space.
