Massive re-development of Howard Johnson hotel site passes next step
NANAIMO — A proposed major re-work of a property at the gateway to downtown is another step closer to reality.
City councillors passed third reading of zoning and land use bylaws for the former Howard Johnson property at the intersection of Comox Rd. and Terminal Ave. at their Monday, Oct. 24 meeting.
Mayor Leonard Krog said the project continued to hit all the right notes for a highly visible parcel in the heart of Nanaimo.
“As many in this community have noticed, when you come into what is essentially our downtown and you come over the Pearson Bridge, on the left you have the beauties of Maffeo Sutton Park and on the right we have a piece of property that has cried out for redevelopment for a very long time.”
