The Municipality of the County of Pictou is seeking proposals for the purchase of the former East Pictou School and associated land located at Sutherlands River, Nova Scotia. Through this Request for Proposals, the Municipality will seek to select a redeveloper who can complete a high-quality project or mixed-use redevelopment that links the residential and commercial profile of the surrounding neighborhood.
The land and building are in the General Development Zone of the Municipality of the County of Pictou and all uses except Wind Tower Development and Adult Entertainment Uses are permitted. The subject lands are not serviced by Municipal Water and Wastewater. The Municipal Council has decided that the former school is no longer a core asset of the Municipality of the County of Pictou and the Municipality and its citizens would benefit more from redevelopment of the site rather than retaining it for a municipal use.
