"We're centrally situation between Yarmouth and Halifax and we're an hour-and-a half from each of those centres and from just about everywhere in the Annapolis Valley. So, yes, we think we're making progress in that area."
Leefe also says the decision by J.D. Irving to set up a big-box Kent supply store resulted from months of negotiations involving the municipality. It will be located on a six acre parcel of land adjacent to Best Western and the new Queens-Emera Centre. The facility is expected to open later this year.
