Film Institution for one and a high tech computer transfer station for global data exchange for the other.
In both cases the City coffers would increase income and maybe even one could off-set the other for seasonal growth, say, in the film industry.
(-Some pretty picture sunsets and sunrises around the Kamloops area -not to forget to mention those rolling hills in green grass in June; secluded lakes for idyllic film set locations…and in the hight tech field -having a large globalized data exchange setting -through Kamloops- would increase TRU’s interests in the high tech sector; ongoing.)
