How does the Oceanfront address the concern regarding the loss of heavy industrial waterfront jobs?
SODC's plan includes over 2000 full time jobs at build-out. This is many times higher than any historical precedent and will include a broad range, including retail, hospitality, light industry and knowledge-based jobs. This combination of employment opportunities will provide greater and wider economic benefit to Squamish without harming the environment. Sustainable development includes workers living close to their place of employment so they do not have to commute. And over 2000 people will not need to commute to Vancouver or Whistler.
