BUILDING KAMLOOPS (Part 3): Dufferin expansion to push closer to Kenna Cartwright Park
In the third instalment of our series Building Kamloops, we look at the Dufferin area. Dufferin is part of the projected 43 per cent growth in the southwest sector of Kamloops over the next 20 years, and while there isn’t as much land to develop as Aberdeen, there’s likely enough for another five years. Chad Klassen looks at where neighbourhoods can expand there.
Excavators and other heavy equipment are levelling ground on Prairie Rose Road, the primary land for expansion right now in Dufferin. Homes on Prairie Rose are already under construction with some nearing completion — the latest in a housing boom in that neighbourhood.
“It’s grown quite a lot over the last four years that we’ve been up there,” said owner of Right at Home Construction Graham Richardson. “Lot of people coming from the coast. A lot of people building different types of houses. We’re building a more modern style up here.”
