Shepherd's Hardware in Armstrong is constructing two new storage buildings.

A prominent Armstrong business is moving ahead with an expansion.

City council has approved several variances so Shepherd’s Hardware can construct two storage buildings on Mill Street.

The variances include a reduction of lot line setbacks and waiving the requirement for landscape screening consisting of a solid fence or a hedge.

“The storage buildings will house an automated lumber and building supplies stacking and storage system,” said Melinda Stickney, chief administrative officer, in a report.

Cash being borrowed

Armstrong has the finances for a new park.

City council has adopted a bylaw to borrow $80,000 for development of Huculak Park.

The funds will be borrowed over five years.

The property is located downtown between Patterson Avenue and Willowdale Drive.
