Civic themes dominated much of our list of five for the week, with two articles out of the Monday Council session and two other items of interest from City Hall making for our most read stories of the week.
From the Monday council session our notes on an agenda item related to potential new use for a downtown building gained the most reads, followed up by a look at an energy savings presentation to Council from EcoTrust Canada
The other two notes of interest from City Hall included word that a planned sale of Civic property in the Cow Bay Area is now off, as well the setting of the date for the annual Tax Sale of properties in arrears on their civic taxes.
Rounding out the list of five found much interest in the travels of Skeena-Bulkley Valley Conservatives, which sent a delegation to the Party Policy convention last weekend.
The top story of the week however, makes note of a potential new use for a downtown building with a bit of history to it.
Proposed change for Second Avenue building on the list for Planing notes for Council -- What could be more residential space, along with travellers accommodation in the downtown area was among the notes from the city's planning department at Council this week. While on the agenda, the item generated no comment of enquiries from Council members. It's progress to be tracked through future meetings. More notes on the Monday Council session can be reviewed here. (posted September 11, 2023)
That article was followed by:
City calls halt to property disposition plans in Cow Bay Area -- A plan to sell off some city owned land and remove parking spaces from the Cow Bay parking, which gained some push back from area business owners, has been taken off the city's planning list.
