Municipality Begins Process To Expropriate Land For Second Marine Berth
The Regional Municipality has started the process of expropriating land for a second marine berth in Sydney.
North Sydney businessperson Jerry Nickerson owns the land.
He can appeal to the province’s Utility and Review Board if he’s not satisfied with what the municipality is offering for the property.
Meanwhile, the tender for the second berth closes a week from Thursday.
The federal, provincial and municipal governments are each sharing a third of the project’s $20-million cost.
The Regional Municipality has committed to covering any cost overruns.
