Town of Princeton Committee of the Whole Meeting Recap

Quick view

The Town of Princeton Committee of the Whole met on July 18th to discuss various town projects and initiatives. One of the main topics was the transition from a town-run route 50/9250 to a regional support, which will allow the RDOS to start planning a budget. The town also received five competitive tenders for the Talent Shop RFP, which closed on July 5th. The building department reported that there are 38 new building permit applications, which is about 30-40% above the normal rate. The town is also working on the BC Housing Stan Thompson Way project, which has an occupancy permit for five years. The BC Green completion phase is continuing construction, and the building by lot Town Annex project is underway. The town is also working on various other projects, including the Memorial Park replacement project, the True Blood mitigation assessment, and the Billiter Warren Booster station. The town applied for funding for the Riverside Builder Avenue River siphon replacement, and it's looking hopeful that they may receive it.
