LCLC gets the green light

posted on 02/15/12

The Lunenburg County Lifestyle Centre (LCLC) took a giant step towards becoming a reality this week.

Bird Construction's $24 million-plus low-bid on the tender for the long-awaited facility came in close enough to the bottom line to allow the project to go forward as planned.

The tender was estimated to be approximately between $500,000 and $900,000 over budget, but committee chairman Paul Belliveau said that money would be made up through fundraising.

The scope of the pool, library and arena are not expected to change, nor are organizers planning to ask its government partners for additional funding.

Work is tentatively expected to begin by March and be complete next spring.
