Shaw Rural Housing, in cooperation with the Nova Scotia Co-operative Council, is set to begin the latest project to improve the housing supply in Springhill and area.
Work is expected to begin early the week of June 15 on a new housing development that will eventually see a mixture of single-unit dwellings, duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes. The first four buildings in the initial phase will be multi-unit buildings with 21 units in total.
The initial phase of the project will begin off Crossin Street.
Residents are urged to be aware of extra activity and heavy equipment working in that area.
Springhill area is one of the many areas in Cumberland that has seen significant growth population. Considering the proposed project’s proximity to the Nova Scotia Community College, the elementary school and the downtown core, this development is expected to be an important one for the area.
