New Sugar Refinery is Scrapped

The dream of a scaled down sugar refinery in the McAllister Industrial Park is dead.


It has been in the works for years after the Lantic sugar refinfery shut down in the South End in 2000.


Enterprise Saint John was backing one of the two bids, not including one from Lantic. General Manager Steve Carson tells CHSJ News, it is a very complicated receivership process.


Carson adds if the plant has opened......there would have been over 40 high paying jobs to go along with it.
