Public Hearing Notice: Proposed Daycare Lease of Town Land

Details

Jan. 28, 2025

Lunenburg Town Council will hold a public hearing to discuss the proposed lease of municipal property to the Lunenburg Daycare Centre to build a new daycare facility. If approved, Council is considering providing the lease below market value and is reviewing the following two sites as potential locations:

  1. 87 Victoria Road (Blue Building Site): Centrally located near Bluenose Academy and the recreation complex, this site requires relocation of Public Works and Recreation materials and one tenant demolition of the structure, and potential additional costs.
  1. Starr Street Site (Below Hillcrest Cemetery and across from the Dog Park): Open space with good road access and no flood concerns, but requiring sidewalk installation, utility servicing upgrades, and consideration of its location within the World Heritage Buffer Zone.

Public Hearing Details:

  • Date & Time: Tuesday, Feb. 11, 2025 at 6 p.m. (as a part of Council’s Regular meeting)
  • Location: Council Chambers, Lunenburg Town Hall. Please use the accessible back entrance at 120 Townsend Street, Lunenburg, NS. 

Purpose of the Hearing:

The hearing will give the public an opportunity to learn about the two proposed sites, discuss their benefits and challenges, and share input to help Council decide which location is best for the new daycare facility.
