New jail project on schedule in Pictou County

THORBURN – Things are on schedule for the opening of northern Nova Scotia’s new correctional centre in Pictou County in early 2014.
The new facility will result in the closure of the Cumberland County Correctional Centre.
Justice Minister Ross Landry said Monday that tenders for the first part of the project will be called soon. The site preparation tender includes clearning land, the installation of sewer, water and storm lines, creating driveways and parking lots and preparing the construction area.
The tender for the building’s construction is expected in September with several general contracting companies pre-qualified to bid.
“If this timeline goes as planned, we’ll be breaking ground on our new facility sometime in the fall,” the minister said in a press release.
The province is also working to overcome issues with the Pictou Landing First Nations.
The project will create 70 new corrections jobs.
When the province announced the project last year it touched off a storm of protest in Cumberland County where the North Nova Correctional Centre has already been announced for Springhill by the previous Conservative government.
