Big Boxes on the Horizon

No onsite parking-until this becomes the parking lot.

Will the desired revitalization of White Rock's town centre remain a dream when a big-box power center in the making just blocks away becomes a reality in the next year or so. "Productivity, utility and efficiency on a pedestal- nothing else matters" says the Geo. 350 text. Is that what the 'high end' residents of SSWR (South Surrey- White Rock) want or do they value their shopping experience? Even if they value it- will they be willing to pay the price for it when a cheaper alternative becomes just a short car ride away?

Home Depot is already in place- currently sitting forlorn in a desert of asphalt. Its doing pretty well judging by the cars in the lot 7 days a week from 9AM-10PM.
