Geography

The town of Princeton is beautifully situated in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains, where the Tulameen and Similkameen rivers meet, serving as the southern gateway to the British Columbia Interior. Nestled in the foothills of the Similkameen alongside the Similkameen and Tulameen Rivers and surrounded by forest, this property is ideally located just outside the growing Town of Princeton, British Columbia. The region is characterized by an abundance of natural resources, including productive forests, mining and a rapidly growing tourism sector. The dominant industries in the region are forestry and mining, although complementary industries are becoming more established. Princeton has competitive operating costs including low costs relative to elsewhere in Canada to low  municipal tax rates and a growing labour pool in the region that readily supports industrial operations.
