The document discusses plans to redevelop industrial lands in River Road, Delta into an eco-industrial area. It proposes retaining the lands for industrial use, addressing landfill closure, and encouraging jobs and economic growth through principles like efficient transportation. Redeveloping "Zone C" is highlighted, with a vision of an ecological and economic hub featuring a waterfront, mixed industrial uses, and protected habitat areas. Implementation will involve bylaw changes, transportation studies, and further defining the redevelopment concept and guidelines.
