This letter was sent to the District of Squamish and copied to The Chief for publication.
I would like to express my support for the Squamish Oceanfront sub area plan.
The plan has a great balance of park space, community amenities, employment lands and residential buildings that we would be looking for.
We feel it reflects the community input gathered over the six years since the District of Squamish acquired the Oceanfront lands.
Squamish needs this plan to move ahead to help reinforce the new vision and future of Squamish.
My business and many other businesses here are relying on projects such as this to support growth and employment of local residents.
The construction portion of this project will provide jobs for home builders and contractors throughout the Sea to Sky Corridor.
We look forward to a revitalized Squamish so that we can attract great people who want to both live and work here.
This project has enormous potential, so let's not delay any further. We need to move ahead and get this plan approved now so we can start building.
