Premier Shawn Graham says the city's energy hub is already paying economic dividends -- Graham says housing starts are on the increase over the past two years -- and -- other construction numbers are also on the upswing with over 250-million invested in non-residential construction in the past two years.
And he says there are more signs of growing economic confidence locally -- the labour force is topping 71-thousand workers -- up about three thousand over the past couple of months.
Graham says the numbers prove Saint John is a dynamic city on the move -- and -- he says "this is just the beginning."
