Determination paved way for Millbrook Commercial Park

Running right through the community of the Millbrook Band is one of the busiest highways in Nova Scotia, with well over 20,000 vehicles whizzing by each day.

Enticing some of those cars to pull over and stop for a while has long been a notion with distinct commercial possibilities. And the completion of a $7.4-million overpass this spring should bring some of those to fruition, with the first commercial retailers signed on and more to come.

"Once the overpass is completed, this centre is probably second to none in Atlantic Canada in terms of highway visibility," says Johnson, who believes the development has the potential to attract the likes of such big-box retailers as Costco, IKEA and Future Shop.
