Two buildings in Bible Hill that house Department of Agriculture staff have been renamed for people who helped grow the sector. The Annapolis Building is in honour of former premier Roger Bacon, and the Northumberland Building for late former Agriculture Minister Edward Lorraine. Bacon helped pioneer Nova Scotia blueberry production as a farmer, and Lorraine was also a farmer before entering politics.
