The Hive announcement one of several projects to kickstart commercial building growth for downtown
KAMLOOPS — Come springtime, the parking lot on Lansdowne Street from Fifth to Sixth Avenues will have shovels in the ground for a cluster of new buildings, known as The Hive.
Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian says the project will make good use of the space, which is currently a single-level parking lot.
“The location has been under-utilized really as a surface parking lot for many, many years,” he says. “And I think that will give rise to some of the other downtown initiatives that we have. A pedestrian area, calming of traffic on Lansdowne and Seymour (Streets), and hopefully a development in the Centre for the Arts area.”
