A library and arts centre will become a cultural hub in downtown Pictou.
The deCoste Centre for Arts and Creativity, and the Pictou Library will grow, thanks to investments from all levels of government.
The province announced two-million in funding for the project yesterday, while the federal government will fund six-million, and local municipalities will contribute over one-million.
The plan is to expand the deCoste building by 2,100 square metres to host a new, modern public library, a fully renovated theatre, visual arts exhibition facilities and meeting spaces.
The province says it’s expected to draw up to 50 per cent more patrons, and have a multi-million dollar impact on downtown Pictou.
This morning, we announced a $2M investment to make the @deCosteCentre for Arts and Creativity and the Pictou Library a cultural hub.
The deCoste Centre and library are invaluable community spaces providing important services to residents and visitors.#novascotia #nspoli pic.twitter.com/dNWqwIKTmL
