Partnership and consultations announced for Ladysmith waterfront
LADYSMITH — A plan has been announced which could at last launch development for a strategic piece of underused waterfront property in Ladysmith.
The town of Ladysmith and Stz’uminus Frst Nation are partnering to develop a joint vision to update Ladysmith’s Waterfront Area Plan, which mayor Aaron Stone says zeroes in on 10 acres of shore front land at Slack Point.
Stone says re-energizing the site with a long industrial use history has been a topic of conversation for many years.
“The uplands between the highway and the foreshore are quite stable and available to be developed on. The waterfront areas, there’s lots of potential uses to marinas to park uses, amenities for the community,” says Stone.
