New Tenants "Excellent Fit" For Lunenburg Academy

The future-use of Lunenburg Academy will feature a rich blend of artistic, creative and educational components. Mayor Laurence Mawhinney has announced the town has reached a tentative deal with the Lunenburg Academy of Music Performance to occupy the historic former school. Mawhinney says the group was the preferred choice after a national call for proposals. Lunenburg Academy is nearly 120 years old and was turned back over to the town when Bluenose Academy opened earlier this spring. The mayor and representatives of the proposed new use will outline their vision for the academy in a media briefing later this week in Lunenburg. Mawhinney says it's an exciting proposal and believes it's an excellent fit for the academy.
