The elusive re-development plan for downtown Kelowna

Posted by paige on June 10, 2010 | No Comments

The good, the bad, and the ugly have all been in Kelowna’s city chambers recently.  Countless house and countless dollars have been spent by government, developers, and taxpayers trying to figure out what to do with the downtown core.  Some great things have happened along the way, like using the old Willow Inn for a homeless shelter during the winter and huge numbers of people all talking about what they’d like to see there, but what HASN’T happened is any decision for anything.

Most people agree that something needs to be done. Revitalization will create opportunity for new and unique housing options,better entertainment and restaurants, access to the waterfront and all that goes with it… somewhere that young and old can hang out and feel safe.  Granted it’s a big deal… definately not a plan to be taken lightly. There is a lot of real estate we’re talking about and a lot of ideas on what to do, but really, somehow SOMETHING has to happen after all this effort.
