Port Hawkesbury town council says they’re looking for NSCC Strait Area Campus to follow through on a commitment the former principal made in 2017.
At October’s regular council meeting Tuesday, councillors voted to send a letter to NSCC President Don Bureaux asking him to honour a $130,000 commitment to the Destination Reeves Street project.
Mayor Brenda Chisholm-Beaton tells The Hawk she isn’t concerned.
“I’m confident that there will be a commitment forthcoming.”
Chisholm-Beaton says former Strait Area Campus Principal Tom Gunn promised the funds when he held the role.
She says she understands COVID-19 has slowed the progress on basically every initiative in the works provincewide, so she thinks it is important to send a gentle reminder.
“We will move forward and inquire with regard to the timeline and the commitment,” she says. “We’ll be looking forward to hearing back from NSCC.”
The money was to be used to build a sidewalk connecting the Strait Area Campus to the town’s active transportation trail.
