City says Daily News property could become parkade, or more
KAMLOOPS — The former Kamloops Daily News building may not be demolished tomorrow, but if the city gets its way, the building on Seymour Street will be tore down by this summer — replaced by a surface parking lot.
The city bought the property in 2014 for $4.8 million dollars, and the building has sat empty for the last three years.
There was hope the building would be resurrected by a performing arts centre proposed for the site, but it failed in a referendum in November 2015.
Now the city wants to go ahead with a parking lot, while keeping its options open for future development, including the idea of a parkade.
