Enterprise Saint John might benefit if it left attracting new industry to Invest NB, the province's new economic development arm. That from consultant David Campbell, who says unless the city's aware of a company's specific interest it should let Invest NB do the heavy lifting.
Councillor Bill Farren says the city isn't making progress and has to stop relying on everybody else.
Campbell says it will be hard for Enterprise Saint John to do generic promotion of the city because Invest NB will have more resources to do the job and he claims there's every indication Invest NB will be more focused on Saint John's interests than Business New Brunswick was.
