Comments on: Real Estate Vancouver Island – Longlands Development is a New Comox Valley Project http://www.claricecoty.com/2009/10/real-estate-vancouver-island-longlands-development-is-a-new-comox-valley-project/ Vancouver Island Real Estate and Construction News Tue, 27 Jul 2010 07:07:36 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: tomdish http://www.claricecoty.com/2009/10/real-estate-vancouver-island-longlands-development-is-a-new-comox-valley-project/comment-page-1/#comment-4 tomdish Thu, 08 Oct 2009 23:27:35 +0000 http://www.claricecoty.com/?p=98#comment-4 This project has the potential to do amazing things for the Comox Valley, in addition to simply being the smarter way to do developments. The precursor Dockside Green project has put Victoria on the map in terms of leading edge community developments. THE BIG QUESTION WILL BE WHETHER THE CITY OF COURTENAY COMES TO THE TABLE WITH THEIR SUPPORT! I understand their concern. Do we want this kind of density, green or otherwise, away from our City centres? The problem for Courtenay is they have great policy but no vision, and when they see a project that meets their policy, they don't like. Therefore, the most innovative projects are going to happen outside of Courtenay until they get they house in order. It should be interesting to see how this all unfolds.
