Plans for the Memorial Market Place in downtown Belleville are moving ahead as COVID-19 restrictions are being lifted.
Taskforce Engineering is moving ahead with leasing efforts for the project that will revamp the former Memorial Arena.
Director of Business Development, Hilary Murphy, tells Quinte News the company is looking to ramp up its leasing effort and hopefully be in a position to move forward with construction.
“We seem to be having more success with the potential retailers for the space and are feeling optimistic that we’re going to be in a position to start construction hopefully later this year with an opening sometime in spring of 2022.”
Murphy says they are looking further afield for clients but still focusing on artisanal type vendors.
“Still focusing on more artisanal-type vendors and unique offerings as opposed to mainstream chain-type establishments.”
