Tsawwassen First Nation suspends marketing of industrial lands – Business In Vancouver

Aug. 30, 2017

Tsawwassen First Nation (TFN) often crops up in discussions of the shortage of developable industrial land in Metro Vancouver.

But an overhaul of TFN Economic Development Corp. following a review this spring has led to the temporary suspension of marketing efforts for the 300 acres slated for port-related industrial development.

“Now is the time to temporarily suspend the marketing of TFN industrial lands for long enough to properly assess what our future development goals should be, and how we can best realize those goals,” a statement TFN issued at the end of July said. “TFN lands are a limited resource, so it is essential that we carefully consider alternative development models to ensure we make well-informed decisions about the remaining 180 acres of unleased industrial lands.”
