A public meeting in Edgewater next week will provide an update on the post office project and the potential for a new housing development in the community.
The meeting will be hosted by the Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) and it is scheduled for Tuesday, June 3, at 7 p.m. at the Edgewater Community Hall.
“Through the community-led Edgewater Hub Initiative, it was identified that maintaining a post office in Edgewater was a priority for residents,” said Electoral Area G Director Roberta Schnider.
“The RDEK has been actively working since early 2023 to seek an alternative location for a post office, as the current location needs to be replaced. In order to do that, we would need to establish a new service to fund a new building.”
Schnider and RDEK staff will be on hand to share information and the latest developments on the projects.
“We wanted to schedule a meeting with the community so that residents could be updated on these latest developments prior to the Post Office Project going to the Board for consideration at the June RDEK Board Meeting,” said Schnider.
Residents also previously stated a need for more housing in the community.
The RDEK says the meeting will also include a discussion on the potential of a housing development.
“I know both of these issues are important to the community, and I hope to see a good turnout on the 3rd,” said Schnider.
