Despite efforts by the Longshoremen’s Union to scuttle the Long Wharf – Irving Oil deal through court action — Saint John M-P Rodney Weston says the federal government is still willing to give its approval to the land required land transactions. He tells CHSJ News it’s just a matter of Irving – the Port Authority – and – the city finalizing the agreements.Weston was hoping that paperwork would be finalized by the first of August — but — he admits that doesn’t look realistic. Irving and the Port Authority are involved in a land swap which will clear the way for the company’s 30-million dollar office complex on Long Wharf.
