Contamination Found At Old GB Post Office

by Dave DesveauxDecember 6, 2017

The Regional Municipality is hoping to get some help from Ottawa after contaminants, including asbestos, were found at the preferred site of a new police station in Glace Bay.

The municipality paid the federal government a dollar for the former Glace Bay Post Office building.

District 10 Councillor Darren Bruckschwaiger says it could cost a lot of money to remove the contaminants in the building and on the ground it sits on.

Mayor Cecil Clarke says an assessment is now being done on the building.
