Part of a development project proposed for 28 hectares of Osoyoos Indian Band land at the head of Osoyoos Lake includes a plan for 150 boat slips.
The Chilliwack-based Van Maren Construction Group is spearheading a plan to build what’s being called the Stelkia Resort Development.
The Town of Osoyoos, the Regional District Okanagan-Similkameen (RDOS) and the NK’MIP Resort Association expect to finalize an agreement with Destination Osoyoos (DO) next month for tourism marketing services.
The trio of partners signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) in January where they would contribute $150,000 worth of funding that DO will use to carry out marketing services for the entire Osoyoos area.
Preliminary estimates for the construction of the proposed marina at Lions Park show Phase 1 as costing approximately $1.17 million, said Glen Harris, from Osoyoos Shoreline Development Limited, the developers of the Watermark Beach Resort.
The marina project will be a joint venture between the development company and the Town of Osoyoos at a 50-50 split.
