Special Meeting Called To Find Power For Metal Shredder

With the potential expansion of American Iron and Metal up in the air, Common Council is holding a special meeting tomorrow night discuss how to get power to a metal shredder on the city's West Side.

A-I-M president Herb Black saying the project may not happen after residents raised concerns about power lines going up on the Fundy Coast.

Councillor Bill Farren tells CHSJ News anything like this that doesn't go forward would be a blow to the community.

Mayor Ivan Court says the project is extremely important to Saint Johners and the meeting was called because they want to move it forward as quickly as possible.

Representatives from NB Power, Saint John Energy and the Port will also be on hand for tomorrow night's closed session meeting.
