Recapitalization work is ongoing with A-Con Construction Ltd. and Solid General Contractors Inc. to complete an additional 29 residential housing units started last year, and there is a contract for four units still to be tendered.
The total contract value over two years is $3 million with approximately 16 direct employment opportunities.
