New Liquor Store - old news?

I have noticed, in the past few weeks,  a fenced off area in the Sobey's parking lot and construction equipment there. I guess it wasn't the Sobey's parking lot to begin with; I've been hearing that the space is the site for the new west side NBLiquor store.

I am trying to remember if I heard this rumor last year. So many announcements - so many plans changed, e.g. the motel on the corner of Catherwood St.  and Fairville Blvd. - was it  Super 6 / Motel 6?; a Kent Store on the corner across the street; a theatre - no that's wishful thinking.
