Garco Construction has been a faithful contributor to the Christmas Bureau for decades. In recent years, the company’s annual donation of $25,000, usually sent around Christmas, has provided an important boost to the Bureau’s fundraising each time.

Spokane-based Community Frameworks broke ground last week on Sinto Commons, a four-story apartment development in North Central.
The nonprofit affordable housing association is preparing the project site by removing a large, basalt rock formation at 509 W. Sinto Ave. Vertical construction of the building is slated to begin in the spring.
Sinto Commons will span more than 50,600 square feet and consist of 47 studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom units, indoor common areas, outdoor play areas and on-site parking. The nonprofit has designated 23 units for people who are homeless.
“The impact of COVID-19 has reminded all of us about the importance of home. Our homes have become multipurpose spaces where we live, work and where our children attend school,” Deb Elzinga, CEO of Community Frameworks, said in a statement. “We are very excited about Sinto Commons, and we are glad to be able to create opportunities for people to find a place to call home.”
