It’s the end of an era in Churchill Square and the beginning of a new one.
The old Dominion grocery story, which had been vacant for years and was the focus of negative public attention as a commercial dead zone, is finally coming down.
Crews began the demolition process today.
St. John’s Deputy Mayor Sheilagh O’Leary says it’s been a long time coming.
She says it will breathe new life into the area.
The proposed development that will be built in its place will include 69 apartment units.
Pleased to see progress being made at the old LoBlaw’s site in Churchill Square. @CityofStJohns @EconDevStJohns #rethinkspace #ward4 pic.twitter.com/fCD8I7ACBw
