What are the critical first phase elements?
There are two critical 1st phase elements:
- Create a component of Oceanfront Park to lead the brand and vision, and firmly establish the identity of Squamish as a true oceanfront community and a great place to “PLAY”. Starting at the ocean will allow the District of Squamish to achieve the core planning principle, “Itʼs About the Water” and the fact that the Nexen Beach is already being used and viewed as a core community asset provides a strong signal to commence here.
- Create an early employment generator through the use of existing buildings on the site to supplement the activity and to establish this place as a great place to “WORK”.
