What drives New Glasgow prices
New Glasgow sits in northern Nova Scotia right on the Trans-Canada, which runs through the province as Highway 104. That puts the town on the main east-west route across Nova Scotia. It is a former steel town, and that industrial past is part of what shaped the place, but the highway is what keeps it connected today. A carrier running the Trans-Canada through northern Nova Scotia passes New Glasgow, and the town's position on that route is its defining freight fact. The steelmaking is in the past, and the highway keeps running.
