The proposed barge terminal at the Spruce Lake Industrial Park is gaining momentum now that Common Council has given its unanimous support.
Saint John Industrial parks has a meeting with Conservative party caucus members from the Saint John area today to discuss the proposed project.
The General Manager of Saint John Industrial Parks Brian Irving estimates the cost at 7 million dollars.
Irving goes on to say, at the front end, 175 jobs will be created with 4, 5 or even 600 well paying jobs five to ten years down the road. Construction would take 8 months but Irving says once it’s a go, contracts would be lined up. He would like to see construction begin before the cold weather sets in.
