The City of Kenora is going to chop up the work needed to construct a new tent on the harbourfront.
Underground work will be part of the first phase with the wall coverings to be dealt with at a later date.
Operations Manager Rick Perchuck says they want to put the project out for tender as soon as possible.
The underground work costs less than a million dollars, the entire project with coverings is estimated at 1.4 million dollars.
