There is at least one member of Common Council who doesn’t think the city is getting value for the 400 thousand dollars it gives to Enterprise Saint John annually. Peter McGuire is making no bones about the fact he’s struggling about voting in favour of that in next year’s budget.
Mayor Ivan Court takes a different view claiming Enterprise Saint John is attracting companies and promoting local business.
McGuire is suggesting economic development could be handled by city hall but the Mayor disagrees especially since Deputy City Manager Andrew Beckett decided to move on leaving a void.
