The northwest corner of Bucklin and Route 6 in La Salle has pretty much been a fenced off pile of dirt for several months but that will begin to change next week.
Construction of a Beck’s gas station is scheduled to begin Monday according to La Salle Economic Development Director Don Aleksy.
The corner used to have a Clark Station but it closed a while ago and then sat empty for several years before being purchased and torn down. A couple of other buildings were also torn down to make room and Aleksy says a remaining building will also be torn down.
He thinks they will move quickly with construction.
