The Guardian - June, 2007
The proposed Museum and Heritage Storage Facility (artifactory) in Murray River will not proceed, it was confirmed officially Thursday by Carolyn Bertram, Minister of Communities, Cultural Affairs and Labour.
Bertram said that government will develop an overall plan for heritage in the province and in light of this new direction, cabinet has determined that he artifactory plans for the village are on hold.
"At this point, we recognize the most pressing need for the Museum and Heritage Foundation is to stabilize the current storage facility to reduce any danger to the valuable collection of artifacts,"Bertram said.
"Carrying out renovation work on the current storage facility will provide sufficient time for government to explore all options, so we can make an informed decision about the future direction for heritage in our province."
Bertram met recently with the Museum and Heritage Foundation and representatives of the Northumberland Community Development Corporation to discuss the future of the proposed Museum Collections Storage Facility in Murray River.
She said government will work with NCDC to explore other development opportunities for the community.
