Quispamsis stands firm on Enterprise SJ funding

Quispamsis town council is adamant it will be giving Enterprise Saint John only half the money it wants next year….$56,000 rather than $112,000…but did leave the door open a little.

The Town council refused to reconsider its earlier decision to cut the contribution in half. It’s not happy with the efforts by the regional development agency. Council did agree to send a letter to the agency asking it to come back with a progress report before the end of June and it might reconsider reinstating the $56,000.

Moncton fire

A kitchen fire in a duplex sent nine people scurrying for safety last night.

Flames broke out in the two apartment building on Mountain Road across from the former Moncton High School. Fire crews arrived quuickly because the fire station is only a few hundred metres away…but there’s fire and water damage so the nine people have to find someplace else to stay for now. The Red Cross is helping.
