A trio of First Nations is partnering with a hotel developer to bring more hotel rooms to the Alberni Valley, as part of efforts to diversify and strengthen the region’s economy.
Plans call for a four-storey, 76-room Microtel to be built at 3355 Johnston Rd., near the entrance to Port Alberni.
The aim is to have building and development permits approved next month, said Patrick Schmidt, chief executive of the HFN Group of Businesses, the Huu-ay-aht First Nation’s economic development arm.
