THUNDER BAY -- The city is seeing some new construction this summer including a $5 million union hall for local carpenters.
The 6,000 square foot two-storey building in Innova Park will feature training space, classrooms and offices. Local 1669 president Wayne Sohlman said the building, which will see work start this week with an expected 2016 opening, is a long time coming.
"We're really anxious to see this building completed," he said.
An old football field across from the former Hillcrest High School is being converted into two nine-unit apartment buildings as foundation permits were issued by the city.
"That's just the beginning I think of future development on that site that we expect," city building division manager Des Stolz said.
And work is going ahead to convert the former Club Nautilus into a nightclub on Red River Road after it was originally announced in 2013.
