2013 saw the inception of a number of major, even unprecedented projects in Saint John including pension reform, a public-private partnership for the water utility, and a major funding commitment to improving roads.
That being said, Mayor Mel Norton tells CHSJ News those aren't the only irons the city has in the fire, with lots of less-touted projects aimed at increasing quality of life for Saint Johners.
Norton says the biggest and best things for Saint John are yet to come--like the new YMCA, the development of the old Coast Guard site, and continued movement on the big projects like the Energy East Pipeline which will create jobs.
