VIC Extension


The Municipality of Lunenburg has approved a lease extension to allow for a temporary Visitor Information Centre at Exit 12. The Municipality formed a partnership with the Town of Bridgewater to operate a temporary VIC in Cookville while seeking a permanent long term location. An Expression of Interest had been issued, but Deputy Mayor Lee Nauss says the proposals did not come in on time to make a decision for next season. In the meantime, Council voted to extend the lease with SmartCentres till November 2012 to allow the VIC to open next spring and summer. The approval is subject to an equal financial contribution from the Town of Bridgewater for 15 thousand dollars.
