The city of Prince George, B.C., is celebrating a revival of George Street in the city's downtown with the announcement of a second housing development coming to the area, alongside a major condo project already under construction.
Mayor Lyn Hall credits at least part of that revival to CrossRoads Brewing, the city's first craft brewery, which opened its door in 2017. Hall joined CrossRoads co-founder Bjorn Butow in studio to speak with Daybreak North guest host Wil Fundal about what they hope comes next for the city's downtown.
