More NEW Money FOUND for School District 43 … when is the announcement? - 2 Heritage Mountain Middle School
Indulge me for one minute? What if SD43 built on an existing site of a previously closed Port Moody or Coquitlam School site ….
…. then SD43 could sell the Anmore property and apply the “new found money” to fund programs within School District 43 that still require more funding.
Is it to late to build a “NEW” Middle School in Port Moody or Coquitlam on the property of one of the many Schools that have been closed vs. clearing raw un-serviced forested acreage in Anmore?
It doesn’t seem that most of the people who have commented on this blog want to prevent the logging at this Anmore site to build Heritage Mountain Middle School on any recently closed SD43 School sites in Coquitlam or Port Moody.
The excuse I see repeated is “they will build homes on the “proposed Heritage Mountain Middle School ” un-serviced forested land in Anmore, really, my crystal ball is not working.
It may stay as Parkland?
If the School District 43 didn’t log it and build on it, who can say it will be developed or when, by whom, and for what purpose?
If SD43 can’t build a new School on it the forested site, they will have to hold it, or sell it.
When might this happen?
One point we probably can ALL agree on is that real estate market is slow.
How many years could those trees stand and help reduce the affects of GHG before the land is sold and or developed?
Forests store large amounts of carbon in the trees and soil. They accumulate more over time as they remove carbon dioxide, the major greenhouse gas, from the air and store the carbon in living trees and other plants
This process has been biased from the beginning.
It appears that the Mayor and council that HAD already made up their minds
a. Before the an Environmental Impact study is done.
b. Before a public meeting was even conceived or planned
c. Before receiving any feedback from the people.
In one email response that I received from a councilor echoed the same response to a neighbour “there is not much you really can do because the POWERS TO BE want this deal done!”
At this point, I’m not sure who the “POWERS TO BE” are?
Enjoy the rest of your day!
Cheers
