Ron Brent Park Re-Zone Considered

By 250 News

Ron Brent Park: the parcel in question  is from Victoria Street on the west, to Oak Street on the east, 20th avenue on the south  to the back of the Connaught Youth Centre property

Prince George City Council has given  first two readings to a re-zoning application that would see Ron Brent Park  (across from where Wood Wheaton used to be) become the new home for a seniors living complex. 

This is the site chosen for the "Campus of Care" facility announced by Northern Health a litle over a month ago.   (see "Move Towards More Senior Care in P.G.) 

The plan calls for phase one to  see the development of 94 complex care beds for those who need care 24-7 and 81 assisted living units.

Phase 2 calls for a further 120 complex care beds, and 36 assisted living units.

In all, the project would need 6.6 acres.  If approved, the developers, Spectrum Seniors Housing Development, and Chartwell Seniors Housing REIT plan to have the first phase open in October of 2008.

Councilor Don Zurowski says  "Its good news, and of course I will still go to the public hearing with an open mind,but this is good news."
