From Niagara This Week:
The federal government is committing up to $35 million toward a new $107-million convention and civic centre to be built in Niagara Falls, something supporters say will provide a huge shot in the arm for Niagara’s economy and propel the region into tourism’s big leagues.
Niagara Falls MP and federal justice minister Rob Nicholson made the announcement to about 100 dignitaries Wednesday at the Sheraton Fallsview Hotel near the brink of the Horseshoe Falls, directly across the street from where the massive, 130,000 square-foot facility will be built.
