A10- The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, August 16, 2000 TERRACE STANDARD USINESS REVIEW Lots of ideas eyed for new business ventures By JEFF NAGEL THE KITSUMKALUM band is looking fer partners to join an administrative and commer- cial building it plans to build at its village just west of town. It’s primarily meant to house the band’s new administrative centre. But rather than build just that, they’re con- sidering allowing a number of other agencies and businesses to set up shop in the same complex, says Art Collins, the band’s capital projects manager. Right now, he’s projecting a two-storey building housing 50 offices with a footprint of 10,000 to 15,000 square feel, but says that could prow to three storeys if demand is high. “We thought we'd soften the complex a lit- tle bit by allowing small businesses in there, : like a restaurant, maybe a hair salon, possibly a small stationery store,” Collins said. A provincial government agency is also in- terested in leasing a significant amount of the office space, he added. Band administration would occupy about half the building, with the rest available for other tenants, he added. The building could cost anywhere from $1.75 million to $3 million, Collins said, but added the band hopes to limil its equity posi- - tion by bringing others on board. The building would be located adjacent to the village’s bal! field, where some band of- fices currently operate in old trailers. A number of meeting rooms could also be. part of the complex, Callins said, which when , combined with the nearby large Kitsumkalum community hall would form almost a mini convention centre. “We're looking at providing two rooms that would accommodate 60 people, a couple more for around 20, and then two more that would accommodate around a dozen.” “We're hoping to build some architectural features into the building that would make it relatively unique in the area,” he said. A cultural theme would help it fit in with the band’s long-range tourism ambitions, he said. A museum to house artifacts and a cultural marketing building where crafts people would display and sell art are other long-range ideas. If the administrative and retail centre goes weil, Collins said, the band might look at a further major commercial development on ad- jacent land right next to the highway. “We do have land available for further commercial development but at this time > we're just going to see what kind of response we pet,” he said. Meanwhile, the Kitsumkalum Tempo gas station is also planning to expand, adding a :700-plus square foot addition to its building. That, Collins said, could incorporate a cafe or coffee shop in response to demand from fishermen and other customers. The larger store could also allow the band- -owned House of Sim-oi-ghets to shift out of the convenience store business and focus more on art and tourist sales. And even more projects are at the idea stage, he said. “There’s a lot of talk,” Collins said. “A lot "of it is speculation and were still looking at different options that are available.” “But when the smoke clears you will see half a dozen ventures moving in the next year or So. Cash flow for the new ventures is being fuelled by profits from the band’s gas station and House of Sim-oi-ghets store, he said. The band’s key strategy, Collins said, is one of working cooperatively with neighbours, such as the City of Terrace, and revamping band procedures to make doing business with the band a painless and easy experience. “We want to take all the mystery out of talking to the band about business,” he said. He said the band has even looked at invest- ing in or buying a number of small businesses operating in Terrace. “We have a very good feeling about where our economy is going — not only in and around the reserve but in the entire Terrace district,” - Collins said. “As far as we are concerned, the indicators are all there and we want to be po- sitioned favourably when the lide turns.” “As the peneral population comes to grips with treaties and the fallout with treaties I think you're going to see better working rela- tionships, a more fluid economy and more confidence in our future.” , Pacific Northern Gas Utd:: would. | Terrace businesses and residents: the First Annual Help the Hungry. grenksuceess Dr. B.D, Greenwood Chiropractor 4635 Lazelle, Terrace Eifs MSP, ICBC, WCB ACCEPTED Dynamic Gait Analysis and Prescription Orthotics Saturday Appointments Available 638-8165 CRIME STOPPERS Terrace Crime Stoppers are asking for your assistance in solving theft of a motor vehicle from a business on Highway 16 in Thornhill, BC.
