While I agree that hotels have been around for hundreds of years and served a purpose, does it make economic sense to have one in downtown Ladner today?
The world is changing.
Forget the “heritage” argument. What Ladner needs is a destination attraction. The development of the waterfront. That includes negotiating with the federal government to develop the waterfront not only along Chisholm but across the slough.
Spending millions of taxpayers’ money to buy commercial properties, occupied by retailers and giving notice to vacate without any comprehensive plan for development, except a concept boutique hotel is in my opinion poor management of Delta resources. Look at the millions that Delta has invested and what do we have for our money a bunch of vacant properties. How about housing and infrastructure?
