Cornwall - Feb. 17, 2011 - A series of big-ticket construction projects have generated headlines for Cornwall in a provincial trade publication.

A new eight-page feature in the Ontario Construction Report examines the ongoing revitalization of Cornwall by highlighting a series of local projects such as the $120-million Cornwall Community Hospital redevelopment, the $79-million Seaway bridge project, the $33-million Benson Centre and the $14-million St. Lawrence College redevelopment.

Senior development officer Bob Peters said the report will help raise the profile of the various development projects that are completed or underway in Cornwall.

"The Ontario Construction Report is read by many of the province's developers, architects and engineers. The feature also shines the light on several local companies that are working on these major projects."

Due to the scope and variety of development activity in Cornwall, the publication has decided to run a second feature on Cornwall next month.

The February report is supported by advertising from a number of local contractors and service companies, including Perras DiStefano Construction, Laurier Electric, Olsonfab Metal Fabrication, Ladouceur Mechanical Contractors, Elco Electric, St. Lawrence Testing, HPI Cornwall and Lafarge Ready Mix and Aggregates

Copies of the February edition of the Ontario Construction Report are available at the Cornwall Economic Development offices in the Cornwall Civic Complex. The report can also be viewed online by clicking here.
