The former Riverport Elementary School is close to being sold. A company called "Yard-Arm" has made an application to the planning advisory committee outlining what they plan to use the building for. The plan includes developing the building into a micro-brewery. Municipality of the District of Lunenburg Mayor Don Downe says it should be a good addition to the community.Downe says its still early in the process but he's encouraged by the steps that have been taken with a number of hurdles left to go including public meetings. The building has been closed and boarded-up since it ceased operating as a school two years ago. The Municipality of the District of Lunenburg has been paying insurance on it ever since, in the amount of about $100,000 a year.
