Fraser Lake Picks Up Funding For Recreation Site
By 250 News
Fraser Lake, B.C. - The Village of Fraser Lake will study the development of a new waterfront recreation site for residents and tourists, thanks to an investment by the Federal Government through Western Economic Diversification Canada.
Federal funding of $80,000 has been announced under the Community Economic Diversification Initiative (CEDI), a component of the federal Mountain Pine Beetle Program.
Funding will help the Village of Fraser Lake to hire a consultant to undertake an environmental assessment of a proposed waterfront recreation site on Fraser Lake. Once that is completed and approved, the consultant will undertake a feasibility study to examine ways to develop the waterfront as a year-round tourist attraction. The study will identify business opportunities, costs, financial forecasts, potential users and potential linkages to other similar facilities.
"We are very pleased with the support and partnership of the federal government on this project," said Mayor Richard Bisanz. "We intend on welcoming new visitors to share in the experience offered by our community, to maintain its natural beauty and develop the necessary amenities to facilitate public access. This project will strengthen our economy and provide it with a great outlook."
