Spirit Square project will turn a sow’s ear into a silk purse
KAMLOOPS — Sometimes the City of Kamloops gets it right and I think the new plan for Spirit Square is one of those times.
Arpa Investments and the City announced agreement this week on a land swap that will pave the way for redeveloping the area around Spirit Square between MacKenzie Avenue and Tranquille Road.
It will include two mixed-use buildings that will encompass a restaurant and commercial space, and 43 affordable housing units for seniors, plus parking.
The project will turn a sow’s ear into a silk purse and add to the regeneration of the Tranquille Road retail corridor.
