A ceremonial groundbreaking ceremony marked the beginning of construction of six four-storey rental apartments at Owen Sound's old BCK site.
Studies suggested rental apartments would succeed on the huge site, while other ideas wouldn't. Ten per cent of the 224 rental apartments about to be built on the old Black Clawson Kennedy site will be affordable.
The site, now to be called Harbour West, is an eight-acre block at 1144 1st Avenue West, steps from the harbour and downtown Owen Sound.
