It was initially seen as a significant achievement by Nova Scotia's Black community. "The goal of Kinney Place is to be an incubator for Black business and an intergenerational hub for the community," Cheyenne Jones told CBC Radio's Information Morning Nova Scotia on Friday. One of those opportunities is Akoma's plan to build eight affordable homes for the African Nova Scotia community by 2023, funded by the federal government's Rapid Housing Initiative.
