The Town of Lunenburg is holding public hearings to gather public input on two proposals—a municipal lease for a daycare facility and new developments in the Heritage Conservation District.

The first hearing concerns a proposal to lease town-owned property to the Lunenburg Daycare Centre at below-market rates. Two potential sites are being considered: 87 Victoria Road, near Bluenose Academy, which would require extensive preparation work, and a Starr Street location in the World Heritage Buffer Zone that would need servicing upgrades.

The second hearing will focus on an application for a Certificate of Appropriateness for two proposed developments in the Heritage Conservation District.

The plans include a 2 ½-storey residential building on Lot 2 Pelham Street and two 3 ½-storey commercial buildings on Lot 3 Montague Street, which an enclosed walkway would connect.

Both meetings will take place February 11 starting at 6:00 p.m., written submissions will be accepted until February 10.
