Centre Jail to be Demolished

Its days are numbered. The former Lunenburg County jail in Centre is soon about to meet the wrecking ball. The facility has been empty since 2001 when it reverted back to the Municipality of the District of Lunenburg. Mayor Don Downe says for eight years they've spent tens of thousand of dollars trying to find solutions for the jail. He says at this point in time there are no more options for the jail so it will be demolished. Downe says tenders will be going out shortly. The Centre jail was opened back in 1950
