On the doorstep is how the president and CEO of Port Saint John describes where they are when it comes to hearing back about final approval for federal funding for their west side modernization project.
It’s a seven-year 205-million-dollar project that’s expected to bring close to 2-thousand jobs over the course of the project.
Jim Quinn says with federal funding you first have to get your project approved as being eligible.
Quinn says you have to go through a secondary review to ensure everything is in order, and then that goes before treasury board ministers for their consideration.
It was announced in July of last year that the federal government picked this project for funding consideration up to 68.3-million-dollars.
The province has pledged to invest the same amount over seven years into the project. Port Saint John would provide the rest.
