“I’m delighted they up with a site to move to,” Mayor Mike Hancock said Wednesday of the Y’s $1-million-plus, 10-year partnership agreement with brownfield redeveloper King & Benton and Lanca Construction to transform the former Work Wear plant into a Family Program Centre.

Coun. Marguerite Ceschi-Smith said King & Benton Redevelopment Corp., and president Steve Charest, should be congratulated for forging a creative partnership that will bring another of the city’s 15 brownfield sites back into productive use while helping community organization.

“It’s great how Steve has done this because there is value being put back into that property,” Ceschi-Smith said, “and it’s one more down on our list of sites to be redeveloped.”
