Group Looks To Library Building For Future Cafe

A not-for-profit organization is looking to access a long-standing building in Bridgewater. Local residents have approached town council to open up a cafe in the current location of the public library on King Street. Cafe 12 would replace the library, which is expected to move to the Lifestyle Centre once its complete. The idea came from Marc Langlois, the co-founder of the Heartwood Centre for Community Youth Development. Cafe 12 is expected to be the first in a growing network of cafes with an avenue for live music, art and community events. Mayor Carroll Publicover is behind the project.



The cafe 12 timeline indicates they hope to start renovations in the summer and fall of 2013 and open in 2014. Council has directed staff to proceed with negotiating a lease between the group and the town of Bridgewater.
