The Nova Scotia government has announced four communities where dozens of new public housing units will be built as part of its promise two years ago to invest in the sector.

On November 27, the province said it has selected sites in Middleton, Windsor, Shubenacadie and Springhill for the construction of 64 new public housing units.

Housing Minister John White said Build Nova Scotia has new criteria to evaluate sites and ensure they are "shovel-ready."

"We're really happy we're working with them," White told reporters after a cabinet meeting on November 27. "Partnering with Build Nova Scotia has really fast-tracked the process."

The housing will be a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments located at:

Sunset Crescent in Middleton, with up to 24 units.

Crossley Court in Windsor, up to 16 units.

Mill Village Road in Shubenacadie, up to 16 units.

Junction Road in Springhill, up to eight units.
