District interested in Invermere Lakefront property for sale?

Invermere Lakefront Property for Sale

When there was some Lakefront property in Invermere for sale, the Invermere District looked forward to buying it. The Mayor of Invermere, Al Miller, referred to it in the East Kootenay Regional District meeting in January.

It is one of the major items from Invermere’s financial plan for 2019 to 2023. This area is about 14 acres in size, and it includes the resort area, garage lands, marine lease, and the region where the boat storage is present.

The discussion on this topic began regarding a boat launch in this location. The CAO of Invermere District, Chris Prosser, conducted a land survey and found that most of the land was private. For the boat launch, it needed to be bought.

When Invermere District approached the owners, they refused. They were not interested in selling the land in small parcels but would like to sell it as a whole. The area went back and forth with plenty of offers rejected. At first, the owner wanted $10 million for this piece. But later on, it went for around $5 million Lake Windemere lakefront.

Why did the District buy Invermere Lakefront Real Estate?

Now, Invermere District owns the Invermere Real Estate Lakefront at the beach of James Chabot. In one of the polls in the municipal election last year, more than 65% of voters favored spending $5 million for the purchase. This was what the final bill also had in September.

The Mayor said that this was the least that we could go. It has turned out to be a pretty good deal. He also added a short-term $5 billion loan for the next 5 years with the Municipal Finance Authority. Now the authorities are in the planning stage where the District can sort out the funding streams and began the procedure. The mayor is looking for any partnership donations, funding streams for this sum. For setting out the loan in a longer time period, the District can reduce any amount they get in.

He also mentioned that this is not a risky strategy for buying land before any funding resources. He says that different funding sources or grant opportunities will help pay the debt. Later on, it would be feasible to go for a lesser amount of long-borrow.

The mayor also mentioned that Invermere would look for new opportunities for undoing some costs to taxpayers. He also added other opportunities available for funding CBT (Columbia Basin Trust), the provincial and federal government, and some very generous philanthropists.

It depends on what the people of the area want to see, and the Invermere District can go for some assistance from the hotel and condo developers. The Mayor also mentioned that the District also needs to reach a consensus to be sure what needs to be on Invermere’s resort lands.
