Construction begins on Highway 97
The first stages of work on the new highway intersection at Ponderosa Drive and 13th Street began on Tuesday. Constance Roth photo
by Joanne Layh Progress on the Ponderosa development took a big leap forward this week as work crews began construction efforts along the highway that will eventually result in providing improved access to the development. On Tuesday workers began clearing trees along Highway 97 near 13th Street in the first stages of a plan to build a new highway intersection at Ponderosa Drive and 13th Street. More details about the development will be released in the coming weeks at a community open house tentatively scheduled for the evening of March 6. Ponderosa realtor Julia Debolt says the open house will offer the public information about the progress of the development, including
real estate, the golf course, what is happening with the highway, and the impact that Ponderosa has had on the economy of Peachland so far. In the meantime, Debolt gave The View a brief update on how things are going in the Ponderosa Discovery Centre. So far, 10 units have been sold in The Trails, the first phase of townhomes in the development. Sixty-nine townhomes will be built at The Trails phase, which is located where the old clubhouse used to be at 4000 Ponderosa Place. “We anticipate starting construction this spring [on The Trails] with our first occupancy in the winter of 2012,” Debolt told The View. “We’ll be starting presales for single-fam-
ily homes, which is called The Pines, in the spring when we receive our disclosure statement,” Debolt said. The Pines is located on the southern part of the property, near Victoria St. and Gladstone. Debolt says presales for The Pines will begin this spring, with construction expected to begin this summer. The golf course should be seeded this spring with the grand opening targeted for the spring of 2013, followed by the clubhouse opening in the summer of 2013. Those who haven’t been to visit the Ponderosa Discovery Centre in the past several months may notice that several new information displays have been added, including a 10-foot by 12-foot model that shows the scale of the project. Further information will be provided at the upcoming open house.
