Bring well paying jobs to the area, with strong focus on agriculture and tourism

Bring a comprehensive servicing solution that can spur employment growth in the area, including the Airport and other neighbouring industrial properties

Our planned residential community will provide a broad range of housing types including singles, semis and townhouses providing more choices to the community than conventional houses in the area.

• Jobs, jobs, jobs!
• Indoor and outdoor community programming
• Large scale concert facility to feature local, regional, and international acts
• Hotel to boost tourism for the entire area
