The City of Langford is expected to announce more help for residents of a highrise apartment building that was evacuated last month for the second time since 2019 because of structural defects.
Mayor Scott Goodmanson will announce the community fundraising initiative for RigeView Place residents during a news conference Monday afternoon.
CTV News Vancouver Island will stream the announcement LIVE at 3:15 p.m.
The City of Langford revoked the occupancy permit for the 11-storey, 90-unit apartment after an independent engineer found structural safety issues and recommended evacuation.
The building was first known as Danbrook One when it was completed almost four years ago, but seismic, foundation and other concerns forced owner Centurion Apartment Properties to clear the building just days before Christmas in 2019.
An investigation determined the structural engineer was not qualified for that type of concrete construction and the building was repaired and renamed RidgeView Place before the suites were rented again last year.
This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
