I'm not sure how further development there would help the community as awhole (beyond a few affordable housings).
I'm very curious about that 1992 NRCB decision and what recreational/tourism program implies. Do big ass residential developments fall anywhere near the NRCBs jurisdiction?

Well, it's a polarizing topic in town. The NIMBY/Conservationists are the loudest, and of course oppose. Conversely, affordable housing is a hot topic, especially with a new council - and ultimately, housing is required in town.
With feedback from council and the town, the developer, twice over amended their application. Despite that, Council voted it down 6-1, departing Mayor Borrowman the lone vote.
I'm quietly in favour of the development, but want Council and TSMV, to work together constructively... Apprehensive how that looks today.
Can't speak to the NRCB, very elementary understanding.
