Positive changes are on the way here in Brockville
Brockville City Council is moving ahead with big changes to local infrastructure and downtown development following its Tuesday (July 22) meeting.
Work is underway on a $625,000 project to replace old watermains, storm sewers and road surfaces on King Street West. The city is also redesigning the main pumping station and plans to build a new, accessible terminal at the Thousand Islands Regional Airport.
A proposal for a six-storey building with 128 apartments and ground-floor shops at 107-119 King Street West was approved after public consultation led to several design changes.
Council is also ending the commercial and industrial vacancy rebate program by 2026, saying it discourages leasing empty spaces.
Other major projects include bridge repairs, water tower improvements, and plans to redesign the Reynolds Park pavilion and boardwalk.
The city also marked the 100th anniversary of Commissionaires Canada by flying its flag at Tunnel Bay.
