PARRSBORO, N.S. — A tidal energy project in Nova Scotia is getting a financial boost from the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency.

The Fundy Ocean Research Centre for Energy will receive $852,000 to help with construction of an observation facility.

The land-based facility will overlook the technology test site in the Minas Passage, about 10 kilometres west of Parrsboro, N.S.

The building will house an operations and visitor centre, with educational tours, interpretive exhibits and models.

It will also provide laboratory space for research work.
