Members' Comments:

"Being able to get all the information required for development of a project in one place and being able to deal with one agency instead of many agencies will increase the likelihood of projects going ahead. This process will also reduce the levels of frustration often caused by dealing with different agencies who have different, but similar requirements."

-- Peter Aylen, Kamloops Chamber of Commerce

"The centre's knowledgeable staff are committed to assisting regional business and resource interests with their provincial resource use inquiries and expediting development approvals wherever possible."

-- Bob Finley, Manager of Planning Services
