The little communities of Pocologan and Bethel aren’t complaining about the new highway, but they are concerned it’s going to reroute customers way from their small businesses.
Liberal MLA Rick Doucet tells CHSJ News there needs to be less red tape around highway signage so they can stay alive before the 2013 tourist seaon.
Doucet says when it’s done right highway signage can be a major tool to spur economic growth, and currently the rules about what signs can go where are both too restrictive and too expensive to follow for most small business owners.
