There is lots of construction underway in Williams Lake with two drive-thru restaurants and a business centre on Oliver Street and another phase going in at Prosperity Ridge.

FYIdoctors is relocating to Prosperity Ridge and will open its doors at the new location on Friday, Oct. 26, optometrist Andrew Roy told the Tribune.

“We looked at renovating our space downtown but it was going to be difficult. Our new space will be wheelchair accessible and will give us room to display more glasses,” Roy said, adding they had leased the building on Yorston Street and that he understood it would be going up for sale after they move out.

Tim Hortons owner Lyda Sharma confirmed they are opening a Tim Hortons drive-thru at the former Lake City Ford site where a new building is under construction.

Sharman said the new one will be in addition to the existing one on Highway 97, which will also remain open.
