Nanaimo Forest Products CEO speaks to next steps following public hearing process
The CEO of Nanaimo Forest Products says that while nothing is decided yet, he expects it to be months before a rezoning application for lands in the southeastern part of Nanaimo makes it back before city council.
After three sessions of a public hearing lasting more than ten hours and featuring more than a hundred first time speakers, Nanaimo City Council has sent an application to rezone around 75 hectares of land from rural resource AR1 to industrial I4 Zoning back to staff.
Midcoast Morning spoke with Nanaimo Forest Products CEO Paul Sadler, as well as Jain Alcock-White, who has spent years working with a group of community members to advocate for increased protections in the areas around Cable Bay Trail.
This is an extended podcast edition of the original broadcast.
