Belleville City Council will discuss granting heritage status to a Moira Street East home at its meeting on Monday.
Heritage Belleville recommends the inclusion of 68 Moira Street East in Belleville’s Heritage Register.

If there are no objections to the designation, council with authorize the City Clerk to introduce a by–law designating the property under the Ontario Heritage Act.
Council meets Monday at 4 p.m.
