Mayor Mel Norton is optimistic about 2013 now that the shared risk model has been adopted for the city’s pension plan which will free up millions of dollars for other things.
The Mayor tells CHSJ News it’s time the city took its rightful place as the economic powerhouse of the province.
Norton says it’s not as if nothing has been happening in the city. He points to the T-D call centre on Rothesay Avenue which is expanding, a new Kent Building Supplies store is being built on the west side, Harbour Cleanup will be finished in 2013, a new cruise ship terminal was built on Water Street and the One Mile Interchange is in the process of being completed.
