If you can get past the looming deficit in the Provincial Budget, here are some of the highlights for Greater Saint John. Over $30 million dollars has been set aside for the Saint John Community College including $19 million for the new center of excellence. There is also $11.5 million for the new Health Center upgrade at UNB Saint John. K-12 education gets a nice boost of 91% from last year, coming in at $95.7 million including $28.7 million in capital projects.
That includes a new K-5 school in the Kennebecasis Valley. On the transportation side.....a new ferry for Fundy Isles will cost $49 million, the Weslford Bypass is $24.2 million and the One Mile Interchange comes in at $30.5. $23 million is going to be spent on the new Justice Complex in the uptown and over ten million is being invested in public housing.
