Downtown To See Busy Summer

PRINCE GEORGE — There will be unprecedented development in the downtown, and there may be some challenges as a result. That was the message today for Mayor Lyn Hall and members of Council.

Some of the larger projects will including the four-phase housing development across from City Hall, a proposed new hotel on Sixth Avenue between Quebec and Dominion Streets, and the development of a new park behind the Wood Innovation and Design Centre.

Also, there are four demolition projects to happen this summer, including the former RCMP detachment, the Days Inn Hotel, the Kings Inn Bible Store and the current Farmers’ Market building.

With the start of construction of a housing project across from City Hall, George Street between Seventh Avenue and Patricia Boulevard will be closed, beginning next week.
