Business, News August 11th, 2026A major federal construction project is coming to St. John’s, and it’s expected to create jobs for local trades while providing a new home for hundreds of Canada Revenue Agency employees. The federal government has awarded a $121 million contract to build a new CRA facility on Kelsey Drive. The new Crown-owned building will be located in St. John’s. The federal government says the facility will provide modern, accessible, purpose-built space for CRA employees and support the agency’s work in Newfoundland and Labrador. “With this investment in St. John’s, we are making a clear choice: investing in our public services, supporting local jobs, and putting Canadian businesses to work,” says federal public works minister Joel Lightbound.
