Ground has been broken on a project to convert the old Century Club site on Buffalo Avenue in Niagara Falls, US into what will be known as LaSalle Waterfront Park.
The first phase will be funded by US$850,000 in Niagara River Greenway funds, US$395,000 from state and Environmental Protection Fund grants and US$66,000 from the city.
The project includes the construction of the gazebo, deck, floating dock, grassy space, boulder area and eco-friendly parking facility.
The second phase, to start next year, will develop landscape amenities and is dependent on another $300,000 in Environmental Protection Fund and Greenway money.
