City looks to lease Seal Cove area land to Gitmaxmak'ay Nisga'a Society

If all the details fall into place the Gitmaxmaka'ay Nisga'a Society in
Prince Rupert/Port Edward will be leasing some land from the City
adjacent to their Rupert Lawn and Garden location

The City of Prince Rupert is in the process of leasing off some of the municipality's land on the East Side of the city, with the Gitmaxmaka'ay Nisga'a Prince Rupert/Port Edward Society seeking to take on a section of land due south of the existing Garden Centre.

The City's advisory on the proposed arrangement notes that the proposed lease would be for a term of one year and subject to review every calendar year, the proposed cost of the rent for the property is listed at $1,228.50 per month, an amount the city notes is considered the fair market value.
