I would like to make a comment on the opinion letter, “Questioning council,” by John Micka that was printed in last week’s Chronicle.
In the letter Mr. Micka refers to the builder of the new Coast Hotel, Mundi Hotel Enterprises Inc., as a “speculating land developer.”
If building a much needed 83-room hotel with indoor swimming pool, investing $8 million in our downtown core and creating 20-25 new jobs qualifies someone as a “speculating land developer,” then I would suggest that the Town of Oliver needs to encourage more “speculating land developers” to invest in our town.
