Weston Hopeful Port Project Will Go Forward

Saint John MP Rodney Weston is hopeful the city, NB Power and the port will be able to work out a deal with American Iron and Metal to build a metal shredder on the city's west side.



The project hitting a stumbling block as council tries to determine who owns land where proposed power-lines are supposed to go.


Weston tells CHSJ News the project comes with job creation and Saint John needs all the jobs it can get.
 
Weston says he doesn't agree with people saying that you can't get anything done in Saint John.
 
He says sometimes there are obstacles to deal with and it just takes some extra time.
 
Weston says the willingness of the port and NB power to look for different solutions to accommodate American Iron and Metal should send a message that they are wanted and needed here in Saint John.
