Ancient Archaeological Site Uncovered Beneath Princeton Housing Development

  • In early April 2025, builders and USIB archeologists uncovered an ancient archaeological site under an industrial parking lot in west Princeton during housing development work.
  • The discovery followed the peeling of concrete and asphalt due to warmer spring weather, which exposed the subsurface outlines of the site requiring further study under BC law.
  • Town officials and USIB leadership met on April 16 to discuss supporting housing growth while respecting the protected site and improving collaboration frameworks like their memorandum of understanding.
  • Mayor Spencer Coyne stated the town will ensure proper permit administration and assist developers, describing the town-USIB relationship as foundational for regional opportunities.
  • Developers plan to redesign subsurface work to limit site impact while USIB and the town will monitor excavations and permits, reflecting ongoing cooperation to balance growth and heritage preservation.
