Hub project. The development will see the Decoste Performing Arts Centre and the Pictou Library combined under one roof.
The tender for the project was awarded earlier this month to Iron Maple Constructors of Dartmouth.
Fraser says after a lot of planning, it’s good to see work underway.
The new facility includes accessibility, expanded meeting and event space, improved ability to host visual art exhibits, a creative area for children and families, a makerspace showcasing new technologies, and improvements like enhanced and expanded washrooms and parking.
In addition, there will be dedicated studio space for arts and culture activities such as exhibits and workshops.
This project is funded in part by the Government of Canada and the Province of Nova Scotia.
