The City of Port Moody and the Village of Anmore agree to work together on Ioco Lands Development

The City of Port Moody and the Village of Anmore approved a Memorandum of Understanding to work together and exchange information with respect to the development of Ioco Lands recently purchased by Vancouver-based land developer, Brilliant Circle Group.

“This Agreement demonstrates our commitment to protect the interests of residents on both sides of the Port Moody- Anmore border related to the development of Ioco lands,” says Port Moody Mayor Mike Clay.

When reviewing development applications both municipalities plan to consult on matters related to:

• Regional traffic issues
• Mossom Creek watershed and Fish Hatchery
• Environmental protection
• Infrastructure and amenities
• Neighbourhood and community concerns; and
• Heritage Protection and related issues.

Village of Anmore Mayor John McEwan says, “It’s important to work collaboratively on areas of common concern and public interest on a regional level rather than solely on specific areas of municipal jurisdiction. This Memorandum of Understanding provides us with the foundation to do this effectively.”
