NNC Progress Report (Report to Council October3, 2005)

August 17
On July 5th, a Ceremony marking the beginning of the NNC Project was held downtown. The ceremony was attended by Nanaimo MLAs Leonard Krog and Ron Cantelon along with Mayor and Council as well as many business representatives from the downtown core.
Pictured left is MLA Ron Cantelon, Mayor Korpan and Councillors performing an official 'ground-breaking' to mark the beginning of demolition to make way for the New Nanaimo Centre. Demoliton is expected to take place over the summer.
Mayor Korpan said "While the New Nanaimo Centre project marks the beginning of a new chapter in the evolution of downtown, it is important to embrace the past. The City is working with groups like the Downtown Nanaimo Partnership to honour and commemorate long-standing businesses and individuals that have left a legacy or a significant impression on the downtown community."
"Downtown is open for business while the project proceeds. We invite the community to come experience the multitude of excellent shops and services offered in the heart of our City," said Councillor Tom Krall.
May 4th Open House
An open house was held at Port Place in the Food Court on Wednesday, May 4 from 12 noon to 8 pm to provide information and receive comments regarding the proposed design for the New Nanaimo Centre. You can view the design images below.
