Lunenburg: Board Of Trade, Composites Atlantic Receive Funding

Old Town Lunenburg is getting a spruce up. The Minister of ACOA along with the MP for South Shore - St. Margaret's announced over $79,000 in funding to the town's Board of Trade. The group will purchase items to enhance Old Town including a visitor information kiosk, park benches, bike racks and drinking fountains. The money will also go towards interpretive and directional signage to highlight Old Town attractions, augmented street lighting, waste and recycling stations and electrical outlets for special events. President Mike Smith says he hopes to have it all available for use by the summer.



Smith says the new features will add to Lunenburg's status as one of the top tourism destinations in the province. Earlier in the day, the minister also announced $18,750 to Composites Atlantic. The money will help the company engage a specialist to evaluate its management and Enterprise Resource Planning systems.
