I have been talking to Karry, and she suggested taking a look at another lot. She was intrigued by an abandoned service station lot right across the street from Norkam Secondary school. She explained that this lot would start a whole new revitalization project, unlike the one I have currently selected. Basically I'm asking for your opinion.....
Option 1
My current lot is in close proximity to Library square, where a revitalization project is currently in motion with new buildings, and business opportunities. Contributing to this project would be amazing, but I would just be adding to landscape.
Option 2
The second lot option, is to start a new revitalization project in an area between Brock and the North Kamloops city center. The propose building lot is located right across from Norkam secondary and also beside a newer dental office.
Comments? Ideas??
Option 2 seems like it would really need it in my opinion, I've driven past there many times and can picture a nice green space instead of what it looks like right now.
ReplyDeleteAnother lot that might interest you, incase you wanted 3 different options, was a large lot right next to westsyde secondary school.
Heres an image of it

Both lots have potential. Perhaps this could be part of your research, if you are focusing more specifically on reclaiming brownfield sites. You could look at which lot would be more feasible or beneficial to rehabilitate.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great topic Darren. I'm not entirely familiar with either site, but with a revitalization project already underway with Option 1, the city might be more likely to support your ideas. Whichever option you choose it's a great project and would be beneficial to the surrounding areas :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the input guys I really appreciate it! Your right Devon the area across from Norkam could use some help but on the other hand I agree with the idea of the city really supporting the project if its located near library square. Thanks for the other option Devon its another contender!!!Good idea Dale, the lot comparison could be a great idea for some added report material!
ReplyDeleteI think that both options are in need of some revitalization; however, I think that option 2 would be interesting for this research project. Revitalizing an abandoned lot may be backed by the support of the city, especially if they are building newer offices nearby and focussing on the new trades and technology program at Norkam. This area of town is starting to get more attention while Library Square seems to already have the attention. Using option 2 may bring the much needed attention to another area or North Kamloops which could be a neat angle to take when revitalizing this site for your research report.
ReplyDeleteThanks Teralynn, that was kind of the angle I was looking at. It could be a really good way to bring attention to a new part of the north shore.
