It’s going to be the perfect community to live, work and play. That’s how the Tsawwassen First Nation was described Tuesday during a special event announcing the opening of the second phase of the Deltaport
Logistics Centre. Now available for leasing, the 200-acre parcel, once built-out, will have four million square feet of light manufacturing, warehousing and distribution space, a tremendous opportunity for companies looking for logistics sites ideally located close to major road and rail networks as well as Deltaport, according to
the First nation. Tuesday’s announcement was made in the first phase of the logistics centre. FIRST: see Page 3 PHOTO BY SANDOR GYARMATI
