Approximately fifty members of the community were on hand Tuesday night at the Seniors Centre in Okanagan Falls for another town hall style meeting to discuss the revitalization of  the town centre. RDOS Area ‘D’ Director  Tom Siddon emceed a panel which once again included Bob Ransford of Counterpoint Communications. Ransford outlined phase one of the plan, a “situational analysis,” by detailing some of the assets and the challenges to the community as they exist today. Phase two of the plan discussed a number of scenarios which the consultants have introduced as possibilities for the revitalization of the town centre. “The ultimate goal is to create a distinctiveness of place,” Ransford said. “To create a heart for the town centre of Okanagan Falls.” Of the two scenarios, the one that the consultants and the attendees appeared to favour is one in which a mixed-use “place magnet” facility (perhaps a wine centre/visitor experience centre) is located on the North side of Highway 97 – the site of the current outdoor flea market.
