Town Centre Stimulus Program
On June 22, 2009 District of Sooke Council adopted the Sooke Town Centre Revitalization Bylaw No. 408 that will provide incentives to revitalize the Sooke Town Centre Area in an environmentally sound manner.
Maureen Enser, Executive Director of the Urban Development Institute (UDI) states “ UDI is very supportive of Sooke’s Town Centre Stimulus Program. These are the types of incentives that the industry has been requesting from local governments for sometime. They not only support job growth: they are also targeted to sustainable development practices and affordable housing. It cannot be forgotten that for every million dollars spent on construction, 15 jobs are created. This is a win-win for everybody.”
Mayor Evans states “the District of Sooke has been working hard to develop a vision that will benefit the citizens of Sooke and the many quests that visit our community. We are looking to create a vibrant Sooke Town Centre that supports our theme of “Where the Rainforest Meets the Sea” while maintaining our unique rural lifestyle. We invite the world to share in our vision and make Sooke one of finest places to live, work and play”.
If you are interested in more information on the vision of Sooke we encourage you to contact the District of Sooke.
