Yesterday the Pine Creek First Nation in coordination with the Ebb and Flow First Nation announced they have joined in a partnership to develop their jointly owned land in Dauphin.
The two First Nations have both signed a letter of intent to develop the Urban Reserve plot of land directly north of the McDonalds in Dauphin on Main Street South.
The partnership will see them work with Petro Canada to develop and build a gas station with future space for electric vehicle charging stations.
The agreement will give all parties involved the chance to work together on a site plan and a budget to build the gas bar with the addition of high-speed electric vehicle charging stations when demand increases in the years to come.
The 8 acres of land, which was originally purchased by both First Nations back in 2007, was fully paid off by 2019 which then gave them the opportunity to develop this plan and partnership for the future development of the site. The development of the land will assist both First Nations in creating an economic profit centre that will, in turn, help out the communities as well as the City of Dauphin and the Parkland area.
