The plan entails construction of a senior housing complex that include 21 rental units on half of a 4.2-hectare property that’s currently under lease by the RDN for 20 years.
The proposed complex that’s going to a single-storey building will be located in the unconstructed Pitt road near the Bowser Village Centre.
It will be serviced by community water and an on-site wastewater disposal system.
