Rezoning for medical clinic construction begins
The Nackawic-Millville Rural Community Council will hold a public meeting on March 3 to review the zoning changes required to build a medical clinic.
Capital Regional Service Commission planning staff presented the zoning requirements to council on Jan. 20, outlining the process to rezone a parcel of land at the corner of Otis Drive and Landegger Drive.
They explained the lot — PID 01506559 — needs to change from the combined R2 (Multiple Family Residential) and C (Core Area Commercial) to the single zoning of C.
The proposed development would house a more extensive medical clinic for the community’s growing healthcare needs, including direct access to primary care.
The March 3 meeting will allow the public to share viewpoints supporting or opposing the plan.
Setting plans for the 2025 Big Axe Beer Festival
The mayor and council discussed a letter from Big Axe Brewery owner Peter Cole on behalf of the Big Axe Beer Festival Committee outlining times and needs for the 2025 event.
Cole explained the festival dates are July 11 and 12 at the baseball diamond next to the Nackawic Arena.
He asked staff and council to provide the same level of support as in the past, which includes town staff support, help with set up and dismantling and the supply of stages, tables and chairs, electrical boxes, garbage and recycling bins and other items.
Mayor Tim Fox and council members expressed full support for the festival, although the mayor suggested Cole make a full presentation before the council.
He noted the in-person presentation, as he did in past years, allowed the council to question him and clarify all details.
