A bright picture is being painted about the local economy by urban researcher Kurt Peacock, who has done an analysis for Enterprise Saint John.
He says the Saint John economy is very diifferent to what it was even just ten years ago.
Peacock warns one of the big challenges will be how to grow the population of the city. He maintains the trend of more and more people living outside the city limits has to be reversed and is one of the reasons Plan SJ is talking about future development being up and not outward.
