A new strip mall is under construction in Steinbach. It is being built at 145 Main Street, next to Elmdale School across the parking lot from Prairie Oils and Vinegars. Spokesperson Waldo Neustaedter says it will be an 8,400 square foot building with three tenants.

"It's really exciting that we can finally complete the development on the corner of Main Street and Highway #12. We have a commitment from the Great Canadian Dollar Store that will take up about 6,500 square feet. Then there will be two smaller units of approximately 1,200 square feet where we're just talking to some prospective tenants right now and we should be able to announce something probably within the next four or five weeks on those locations."

Neustaedter says the strip mall will face into the parking lot which will provide plenty of parking for all of the businesses at 145 Main.

Construction is scheduled for completion August 1st.
