2 New Bio-Energy Plants for Prince George BC

This is great news for Prince George. These two new Bio Energy plants will use wood waste. The P.G. Interior Waste to Energy group said today they plan to start construction on a $50 million bioenergy project in early May. The project is expected to create 70 jobs, producing electricty to heat 7,000 homes, as well as other products like bio-energy and bio-oil.

"This is an example of the new forestry sector" says Liberal candidate for Prince George-Mackenzie Pat Bell, "The plant will also produce an activated charcoal that can be used in water filters and in the automotive paint industry. It also produces light and heavy oils. The light oil can be used as bio-diesel and the heavy oil has other applications.""This is an example of the new forestry sector" says Liberal candidate for Prince George-Mackenzie Pat Bell, "The plant will also produce an activated charcoal that can be used in water filters and in the automotive paint industry.

Market has picked up in last few weeks

The Prince George Real Estate market has picked up with very low inventory for homes under $250,000 range. I have even been involved in multiple offers in the last week which has not occurred much since last summer.

Revenue property is low as well but I am aware of some very good ones coming on the market in the next week or so which has good cash flow.

The tolerance of buyers looking for fixer uppers has gone but a good home or property renovated well and ready to go seems to be selling well.

Plus the low interest rates combined with the reduced prices makes for another great opportunity. Prince George is very well positioned to move and carry on up as the economy moves forward.

For a list of revenue investment properties either duplexs or homes with suites just visit www.DeanBirks.com and send me a request and I will email a list to you.

Prince George a big winner with stimulas money!

I can't believe what I am hearing. There are actually people out there that are complaining the BC Gov't is spending money as if they think it has all to do with an election. Hello???

For the last 7 months the world has been in a major financial crisis and recently all the world leaders have met and agreed that all governments spend money in their perspective areas to help get through this world mess.

The way I see it, the BC Liberal Government have been very prudent and good and redeveloping BC as a place to live and more important a place to work and do business. Because of them BC enjoys a triple AAA credit rating and also cash in the bank to now spend during these hard times. Save for a rainy day, and thank god they did.

Now on to the great news for Prince George here is links to just a few great announcements:

- Cancer Clinic gets boost

- UNBC and CNC get $51 Million for expansions

- Cancer lodge gets $2.2 Million

- First Nations sign pipeline deal

These are just a few to find out more just click here.

All the best and don't forget to vote in the up coming May Provincial Election.
