Rothesay and other outlying communities don't need to follow Saint John in appointing an economic development officer to communicate priorities to Enterprise Saint John.
Chair Tony Gogan tells CHSJ News it's much less typical for smaller communities to have a liaison officer because there isn't the same maze that exists when navigating city hall.
Gogan says Rothesay also benefits differently from Enterprise Saint John, because while new businesses locate within the city, a lot of the employees live in the surrounding communities.
