Power centre stays course

Albion Place is developing well and on schedule, Stellarton Mayor Joe Gennoe says.
The power centre added four tenants in 2011, with construction completed at one of the sites and in progress at another.
“It’s been a successful year,” he says.
Gennoe revealed that an agreement is about to be signed with a tenant on land bordering Highway 104. He would not name the tenant, but the power centre’s design calls for a food retailer to locate on the land between Central Home Improvement and a brook that runs through the park and under the highway.
The power centre started with the Holiday Inn Express.
The Town of Stellarton then hired consultant Paul Brown to fill the lots.
Since then, Central completed its move to the park and opened last spring. Access Nova Scotia built a new facility beside Holiday Inn and opened in November.
The design calls for a furniture outlet between Central and the Holiday Inn.
Construction at a new Home Hardware store has begun and the store’s frame has been put in place.
A Subway outlet will be built at the west end of Lawrence Boulevard.
The plan also included a strip mall across Lawrence Boulevard from the Holiday Inn that was to be built this year, but design changes have delayed the work.
While more tenants are being sought, road and infrastructure work has taken place throughout the year.
Street Two was partly paved, as was part of Street Three to allow construction to proceed at the Home Hardware site.
“The road work was important,” Gennoe said. “It will be finished in the spring.”
Ground was also levelled to create a 10-foot elevation for other lots along Street Three

There is a blank sign beside the fastfuel gas station that may be there for an annoucement of what is going on the food outlet land.
