City council will debate whether to amend zoning bylaws for a proposed Harbour Expressway hotel Monday night.
The southern Ontario-based Thompson Centres Inc. will be looking for an official plan and zoning bylaw amendment for a new hotel near the Superstore in the Intercity area. The company would also like council to pass amendments for future developments that include a retail store and two restaurants.
If Council approves the amendments, the company would like to begin construction this spring on the 142-room facility.
The president of Easton's Group of Hotels says one restaurant will be a Milestone's or an Earl's, while the other eatery is slated to be a Harvey's.
The Thunder Bay Region Protective and Emergency Services Training Corporation will also be on hand Monday night. The group is looking for forgiveness of a more than $570,000 loan it received from the city in 2008.
They will also ask for financial assistance for an indoor shooting range.
