The abandoned Canada Customs building at Emerson is getting another lease on life, this time as a livestock inspection station.
A company known as Facility Management has purchased the building.
It intends to set up a livestock inspection operation that could house inspectors from both Canada and the U.S.
Emerson Mayor Elmer Penner says town council is excited about the project.
Council has approved a conditional use permit to allow the project to move forward.
A spokesman with Facility Management company declined to comment on the project at this time.
