FHA's shady investments

Some of you may wonder why, the proposed Fraser Health's Cypress Lodge is not already under construction on the Riverview site. This tri-cities news story may shed a little light on the subject.

Makes you wonder what they were thinking investing in what anybody with any sense at all knew has been a problem area for many years now. This was OUR money! Cypress Lodge, was supposed to break ground in October,2007
