Happy Valley tourism receives over $1 million in grant funding
CENTRE COUNTY, Pa. (WTAJ) — The Happy Valley Adventure Bureau (HVAB) is rolling out over $1 million in tourism grants to 81 recipients over the net fiscal year. The annual event awards funding to projects and organizations that 'foster visitation' according to a press release from the HVAB. This year the bureau is giving out a record-breaking $1,100,750. HVAB CEO Fritz Smith attributes the boost in funds to the county doubling its hotel tax five years ago. 'When we got the room tax increased five years ago, that was our goal was to, within five years, reach that $1 million mark in terms of grants that we awarded,' Smith said. Juniata College receives approval from state nursing board for new nursing program Commissioner Steve Dershem said it took 'a lot of thought' to make the decision to raise the tax. But, five years out from the tax raise, he says the initiative was a 'tremendous success.' The $1.1 million is being split among 81 recipients, including tourism heavy-hitters like 4th Fest, Grange Fair and Arts Fest. Of the 81, 11 of them are newcomers to the program. 'We also wanted to stimulate new events,' Smith said. 'And so over the years, we've really been able to be successful with that because of this program.' Some of the new faces include Burning Ma'am, AAUW State College and the Bellefonte Historical Railroad Society. New or old, local officials say each organization plays a role in making the county more appealing. 'These large events are major economic drivers for the local economy, and they're places for reunions and fellowship among local residents and those who return to our community for these events,' Commissioner Amber Concepcion said. The grants will begin distribution in July. For a full list of the recipients, visit the HVAB's website. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Oxford Properties and CT REIT Announce Major Retrofit at Canada Square, Anchored by New 20-year Office Lease with Canadian Tire Corporation
TORONTO, June 9, 2025 /CNW/ - Oxford Properties Group ("Oxford"), the global real estate arm of OMERS, and CT Real Estate Investment Trust ("CT REIT") (TSX: today announced, in partnership with Canadian Tire Corporation ("CTC") (TSX: CTC) (TSX: CTC.A), a transformative investment to retrofit the existing office buildings at Canada Square, a key midtown Toronto hub. This Canadian-led partnership includes a 550,000 square foot, 20-year office lease with CTC, demonstrating the enduring appeal of centrally located, transit-connected workplaces and representing a major investment in Toronto's urban core. The redevelopment project represents a combined investment of over $200 million by Canada Square co-owners Oxford and CT REIT. The two office towers at 2180 and 2200 Yonge Street will be retrofitted to deliver 680,000 square feet of highly functional and modernized office space, over 80% of which will be anchored by CTC. Having operated its head office at Canada Square for over 50 years, CTC is also investing to build a next-generation headquarters for thousands of employees. "This is a proud milestone for Canadian Tire and a major reinvestment in a neighbourhood we've called home for more than half a century," said Greg Hicks, President and CEO, Canadian Tire Corporation. "We're excited to help transform this vibrant corner of the city. Our employees will be among the thousands who come here each day – for work, for play and for the ease of new transit connections in every direction." Originally constructed in the 1960s and 1970s, the 18-storey building at 2180 Yonge Street will undergo internal upgrades and a complete façade renewal, followed by a full renovation of the 17-storey tower at 2200 Yonge Street. Construction, which will begin in late 2025, will minimize embodied carbon from the project while introducing significant energy efficiency upgrades in support of LEED Certification. The retrofit work will also deliver new employee amenities and approximately 15,000 square feet of modern retail space on Yonge Street, significantly improve the streetscape and offer a refreshed retail experience for the neighbourhood. "This 'made in Canada' solution which sees the coming together of these great Canadian institutions to revitalize a key hub for Torontonians is a proud moment for OMERS and Oxford," said Blake Hutcheson, President and CEO of OMERS. "This investment represents our ongoing commitment to being a champion for Canada, here at home and around the world. We are proud to put our pensioners' dollars to work to improve our cities while, at the same time, delivering on our obligation to generate returns to pay pensions for our members." The project will further benefit the community by delivering an upgraded and more accessible TTC entrance on Yonge Street to help local residents and workers more efficiently access Eglinton station. "Canada Square is a crown-jewel property and a generational asset, and this first step in its redevelopment allows us to begin to unlock its full potential," said Kevin Salsberg, President and CEO, CT REIT. "This major reinvestment exemplifies our commitment to enhancing our assets and providing reliable, durable and growing results for our unitholders. We're building for today while setting the stage for the decades to come." "This substantial investment at Canada Square is part of Oxford's deep conviction that well-located, high-quality, and sustainable workplaces that focus on the employee experience will continue to outperform," said Daniel Fournier, Executive Chair at Oxford Properties. "A company of Canadian Tire's stature signing a multi-decade office lease speaks to the trust our customers have in Oxford to create their ideal workplace. Not only is this an environmentally friendly approach to revitalizing one of the most transit-connected sites in the city, but it brings a substantial amount of employment to the neighbourhood and will benefit Torontonians for generations to come as we continue to advance our long-term plans for Canada Square." The office retrofit project is an important step towards the planned redevelopment of the 9.2-acre site into a vibrant, mixed-use addition to the community. Oxford and CT REIT continue to advance plans for the west side of the site that contemplate a significant amount of critically needed new rental housing and public open space in one of the city's most transit-connected nodes.
