The City and NB Power Try To Keep Expansion Project Alive

Mayor Ivan Court says he doesn't want the expansion of American Iron and Metal to go down the tubes.

The deal is at risk because the city and NB Power are trying to figure where to lay down power lines for the project without interfering with west side residents as well as sorting out land-ownership issues.

Court tells CHSJ News talks are continuing with NB Power and even residents who were concerned about the power lines want the deal to happen as it would mean millions to the local economy.

He says it would be a tragedy if the deal fell through and hopes power arrangements can be made.
