Council Doesn't Have Enough Information
Chamber of Commerce Survey
The Nanaimo Chamber of Commerce recently sponsored a survey to get public opinion about the proposed energy from waste plant proposed for Duke Point.
There is a clear desire to have more information about this facility before City Council makes a decision according to 91.2% of the respondents. Nearly 73% of the respondents felt they were not adequately informed of the details surrounding this project.
When asked who is responsible for this information sharing 72% said they city of Nanaimo, 52% said Metro Vancouver, 52% said the proponents, 62% said an independent 3rd party and 48% felt an organization such as the Chamber or VIU.
City Council is going to review a previously tabled motion which would call for city Council to notify Metro Vancouver that the city is not interested in an energy from waste facility at Duke Point.
Comment:There is some question as to whether the tabled motion can be brought back at this time, given one of the conditions of the motion has not been fulfilled.
Since the city of Nanaimo has nothing to loose by waiting for more information, it would seem sensible they will wait until more information is forthcoming, which is now expected by mid May.
