ANNOUNCMENTS
On the Horizon
Victoria Airport Authority, in conjunction with the Town of Sidney, has proposed development of a retail site on VAA land at the southwest corner of Beacon Ave and Pat Bay Highway. The vision for the new commercial/professional centre is that of an extension of Sidney’s commercial district, as well as a gateway to the Town’s downtown core.
Another development along the highway landscape, Peninsula CO-OP is reviving the site of what was formerly the Chevron station back in the 60s and 70s, at the corner of MacDonald Park Road and Pat Bay Hwy. In addition to the obvious gas pumps, the new site will consist of a 2600 sq ft convenience store, and state-of-the-art touchless carwash. You can learn more about Peninsula Co-Op at www.peninsulaco-op.com.
