Cache Creek announces plans to expropriate two properties to address ‘persistent’ flood risks
CACHE CREEK, B.C. — The Village of Cache Creek has begun the process to expropriate two properties along the Trans Canada Highway as part of a larger project to address persistent flood risks.
Mayor John Ranta says the two properties — 1153 and 1191 Trans-Canada Highway, near the Cache Creek Fire Hall — were identified as essential components in the next phase of flood mitigation efforts following the floods of 2023.
“This decision was not made lightly,” Ranta said. “After reviewing all options, this is the least impact overall financially that still allows us to move forward in a way that protects residents, businesses and public infrastructure.”
