Pacific Insight and the new Nelson transfer station will be neighbours.

Pacific Insight is still reviewing a compensation offer from the Regional District of Central Kootenay over the move of the Nelson transfer station.

Late last year the RDCK said it was willing to give the electronics manufacturer $117,000 in recognition of the existing infrastructure it would piggy back on.

Central waste committee chair Ron Mickel says there is still some discussion of how the money will be paid out, assuming the offer is accepted, but his recommendation is that it be a lump sum.

The company is unhappy it will be neighbour to the new transfer station, suggesting it could negatively affect its corporate image and create safety problems with large trucks hauling by their plant.
