Commercial project coming to former vacant lot
Work on a new commercial development in a vacant lot could begin as soon as fall in downtown North Battleford, but residents will have to wait a while before finding out what it is.
A large sold sign has appeared in a portion of the gravel-covered lot facing Railway Ave. across from the courthouse, and that part of the lot has been barricaded off.
Jim Puffalt, city manager, confirmed a commercial project is planned for the site.
“We’ve sold some land and we expect to make an announcement next week for a pretty major development for downtown,” he said.
