Former arena site considered for housing development

Port Hawkesbury Town Council is seeking public input on a proposed land sale that would facilitate the development of a 55-unit housing project. Council has scheduled a public hearing for February 17 to consider selling municipal land for nominal consideration to a not-for-profit housing organization. The land in question is the former arena site. The motion to ratify the public hearing was passed by council last week, marking a significant step toward addressing housing needs in the community through this potential development project.
