Lowe's Home Improvement Warehouse will begin construction on a new store at Westland Fair shopping center at Charleston and Decatur boulevards.

The central Las Vegas store will cost $16.5 million and employ about 175. It is expected to open in spring of 2003. Lowe's currently has two stores open in Las Vegas.

The Lowe's will replace Home Depot, which had backed out of an agreement to open a home improvement store at the Wal-Mart anchored center. Westland Fair is owned by Weingarten Realty Investors of Houston.
