Pearson Plaza is the tentative/construction name of a shopping mall under construction in Elliot Lake, Ontario. Located on the site of the former Nordic Hotel (later Huron Lodge), at Hillside Drive South and Ontario Avenue, it is set to open in fall 2015. It is less than a kilometre south of the former Algo Centre Mall, demolished after a tragic collapse. Due to the Algo Centre situation, and the tremendous social and economic impact it had on Elliot Lake as a small city with few other major retail outlets, the project was funded almost entirely by the provincial and federal governments.〔("Site prep underway for Elliot Lake plaza" ). ''Northern Ontario Business'', June 13, 2013.〕 The Government of Ontario and the Government of Canada each provided $1 million in funding, with the remaining $1.5 million being provided via an amortized loan from Infrastructure Ontario.〔 Pearson Plaza was designed as a single floor complex with a series of big box stores to be anchored by Canadian Tire and Foodland, and the number of retail tenants totaling 20 to 22.〔 The land purchase for the new mall was completed by developer Ron McCowan in March 2014 but by October construction on the property had not been started. The development name Pearson may refer to The Right Honourable Lester Pearson, the Nobel Peace Prize-winning former Prime Minister of Canada, who served as the MP for Algoma East, including Elliot Lake, from 1948 to 1968. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pearson Plaza」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
