There’s a new figure at the helm of the Saint John West Business Association.
Bill Shannon was named president on Tuesday night at the group’s annual general meeting. Shannon, who spent the last six months as chairman of the steering committee, said that he’s ready to see the association revitalized. He tells CHSJ news by solidifying a new team of executives, they can pick up where the last chapter left off.
All 12 people who applied to be part of the board of directors were appointed. The group will meet on a monthly basis and hold quarterly general meetings. Shannon says it will take them a few months to create an agenda outlining where they’re going and what they plan on doing when it comes to business on the west side of the city. But, he says, personally, he’d like to see the Golden Mile take off and see family restaurants set up shop.
