Downtown resident incensed at Daily News parking lot plan
KAMLOOPS — A report is expected to be presented to city council Tuesday that recommends the old Daily News building be demolished, turning the site into a parking lot.
Chair of the Downtown Neighbourhood Association Bruce Thomson says he received an email Thursday from the city advising that Council will not be implementing any of nine proposals put forward for the building.
The Downtown Neighbourhood Association proposed the old building on 4th and Seymour be converted into a performing arts centre at a cost of $90 million, but it was voted down by taxpayers in 2015.
