Premier Rodney MacDonald and Education Minister Judy Streatch announced a three-hundred-and-seven million-dollar school construction-and-renovation program today. Eight leading-edge schools will be built and forty-one others renovated under the program, part of the province's Building For Growth economic stimulus plan. Premier MacDonald says the projects will give the province even more world-class schools to help prepare the leaders of tomorrow and leave a lasting legacy for Nova Scotians. The new schools include a P-9 in Lunenburg that will be open by 2011. Renovations were announced including a 2-million dollar project at Bridgewater Elementary, 250-thousand for New Ross Consolidated and 2-million in upgrades at Park View Education Centre. Clark's Harbour in the Tri-County will see 3.48 million in renovation work.
