Downtown Construction Project and Municipality

: Cranes, big holes in the ground and the bare bones of new buildings suddenly seem to be everywhere in the municipality, which, in the previous 20 years, completed exactly one downtown construction project but now has more than 30 in some fashion underway, according to The Chronicle Herald. All of the action isn’t in the city core. Now, if you haven’t been back in a while, better be prepared to have your head spin — and we don’t just mean by the glittering new library. Overall, 55 projects are afoot, seeking approval or undergoing public consultation throughout the municipality. But downtown is where the landscape is going to change the most. And that figure doesn’t even include the four major subdivisions that have been OK’d or the five others at the public consultation stage. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
