“The former mill site lands in Slocan have enormous potential to serve the Village with new development opportunities. However, it is important that the former mill site area is developed in a way that blends within the existing Village of Slocan and does not stand out as starkly different and contrasting. Any future development should be complementary to the Village’s spacious natural character as well as preserving the public’s access to the waterfront. At the same time, the Village recognizes the importance of working with an investor/land developer to generate servicing, development standards, and development model flexibility that generates a business model with a market-rate return on investment.”

“The mill site is on everyone’s mind and will be an important piece of the future of Slocan. Residents had varying ideas for what should happen with the Mill Site. Most felt that the foreshore and waterfront should remain public. Beyond that, ideas ranged from housing, business development, affordable housing, education, and park opportunities.”
