After months of discussion and consultation, Lunenburg has started the process that could see a large piece of public land sold and 256 homes built in the Nova Scotia town.
Lunenburg's town council will gather more details on what a major new development could mean for local taxes, before starting the process to sell public land for the new neighbourhood.
Council for the Town of Lunenburg has removed a councillor as deputy mayor after he was critical of the decision to rename Cornwallis Street to Queen Street, with one colleague calling his behaviour "disrespectful" and "disruptive."
A local councillor anticipates some backlash as the town had originally intended the name change to honour African Nova Scotian and Mi'kmaw figures, place names and words from Lunenburg's history.
