The City of Nelson prepares as Council voted unanimously to see the new electric-ready Kootenay Lake Ferry project built locally.
“This is a positive step forward for the community and I am looking forward to seeing this project take shape,” said Mayor John Dooley following the February 9, 2021 vote. “Positive not only for our community but the surrounding area as well.”
Concerns were brought to Western Pacific Marine regarding the $63 million project, including transportation, noise pollution and why the site was chosen over others.
