An expansion project at Steinbach Arts Council is going ahead this summer, despite not getting a grant from city council.  The $70,000.00 request was turned down because it missed the deadline.  Board chair Frances Funk says they've been told by council the request will be looked at next year and she says that's enough for the project to go ahead as planned.  Construction will start in a couple of weeks and should be done by September.  Funk says council was a bit disappointed things didn't work out exactly as planned, however, they know city council supports their work and there are no hard feelings.
