CBRM Takes Over Bayplex

by Dave DesveauxNovember 29, 2017

Glace Bay’s Bayplex is being taken over by the Regional Municipality following a vote at last night’s council meeting.

The move will allow a structural engineering study to be done to see how much it will cost to repair the facility.

When the assessment is done, municipal staffers will present the findings to council, the province and the federal government to try to get the funding needed to carry out the repairs.

Early estimates put repair costs between 8 and 10 million dollars.
