Plans Unveiled for Lunenburg County Justice Centre

Community members got a first look at plans for the new and improved Lunenburg County Justice Centre during a public presentation today, May 8th.

The design and layout was presented by Justice Minister Murray Scott and the project architect, Andy Lynch.

"The new Justice Centre will provide a new level of service for the people of Lunenburg County," said Mr. Scott. "For the first time, all justice-related services will be under one roof in a modern new building."

The plans call for a 49,000-square-foot building featuring four courtrooms, interview rooms, secure custody areas, counter service for payments and other court services, jury room and a family education room. The centre will also house new space for legal aid services.

The $10.5-million facility will be built on High Street, adjacent to the Provincial Building in Bridgewater.
