A PROVINCE ON THE INTERNATIONAL STAGE FOR MANY REASONS IN the COMING YEARS
Few places in the world can compare to the beauty of British Columbia. People want to live there. But that's just a small part of the logic underpinning a bright economic future.
For starters, the Winter Olympics are coming in 2010, and that will surely pump many millions of dollars into the provincial economy as the buildup to that event draws near. In addition, B.C. continues to grow as an international gateway into Canada, for immigrants and consumer products alike. Plus, the province is a hotbed for major infrastructure projects, with $2.7 billion in major electric power generation and transmission projects, and municipal water and sewer projects now underway. Another $1.5 billion are planned.
For your review, we've gathered a selection of key resources about British Columbia. They give you an idea of why Prestigious Properties is currently targeting this province in our never-ending search for great real estate investment opportunities.
