Re: Watson Island Sale?

So are we to find out to-nite who is on the buyers list for the mill property?Sure hope it is Canpotex…will probably be in camera…

yes that would be a good buyer, but i think not cause somebody already payed a whack of money for the land just past the stupid non operating sulfer plant at ridley they have already surveyed the land and have drilled in the ocean for where the dock / tie up will be
probably a spent $100,000 or more i figure so if it doesnt go through dont cry lol the moneys already been spent ha ha ha

Haven’t heard that a decision was going to be today.

They say if you don’t learn from history … you’re doomed to repeat it

Well the reason for my question was for my own information as I can’t recall who was in the Mayor’s and city manager’s seat when our council allowed the taxes to go in arrears and who made a handshake deal with the BC govt for that kind of money.

I believed this predated Mr. Pond’s tenure as Mayor although he may have been on council. 

Well before the Pond era there was Jacko and then Don Scott I believe. I do not recall Mr. Scott making any big or sudden handshakes while he was in there. I do remember he put together a form of gathering in regards to social issue affect or community and the end results sat on a shelf somewhere collecting dust. Now we have a situation in regards to social issues and its dust and hot air.

THE MILL WILL BE SOLD AND PRINCE RUPERT WILL

BOOOOOOOOOOOM  AGAIN HAVE FAITH.

You are becoming so much of a broken record.

Pray that the fail town will implode?.. wow.

Well,it seems that there were some intresting offers made as council spent a few hours going over the proposals.(in camera)Cross our fingers that they pick the best one!

This is going to be interesting.

So who are the interested companies and consortiums?

So, has West Coast Amusements put in their offer or not?
