Hydro Underway With $29M Project

Posted on 7/31/2015 by Pete McIntyre 107.5 KISSFM
Construction continues on new regional head office for BC Hydro on Kalamalka Rd. The Crown Corporation is investing 29 million dollars into a new regional head office and industrial building on Kalamalka Road. Hydro spokesperson Mary Anne Coules says work started in June, and they expect it to be done before the end of 2017. She says their current head office will be demolished, and replaced with a new building. "The new building is going up behind where the building is now, and then this building will be the parking lot," says Coules. The existing office -- which houses 220 employees -- dates back to 1973. "The old building doesn't conform to current building codes, and there's a number of issues, so it's definitely time for an upgrade," Coules tells Kiss FM. Another 20 employees work from an office in downtown Vernon and will move into the new building when it's done.
