Case Study 1
| Norton’s Cove Studio, New-Wes-Valley Newfoundland and Labrador |
 |
- • Bought for about $10,000 in 1996, this former
general store was in disrepair.
- • Print-maker Janet
Davis reglazed the windows herself and then hired a carpenter
for other repairs. For three summers, she ran a small
consignment craft shop in the 1,200-sq.-ft. building.
- • In 2001, she developed a business plan for
a print studio, print classes and art shop. This gave
her access to interest-free loans from the Atlantic Canada
Opportunities Agency and the Newfoundland Department of
Industry, Trade and Rural Development, as well as grants
from the Heritage Foundation of Newfoundland and Labrador,
and the Canada Jobs Fund.
- • Ms. Davis invested
about $60,000 in her business, of which $23,000 was spent
on labour and building materials for its rehabilitation.
More investment will be needed for upgrading insulation,
storm doors and windows, and a furnace.
- •
A marketing agreement with a local museum has helped make
the Norton’s Cove Studio a tourism destination for
visitors seeking a glimpse of authentic Newfoundland architecture.
