The first meeting between Rothesay and Quispamsis to discuss the possibility of amalgamation is set to take place over the next week but it's being described as exploratory.
Rothesay mayor Bill Bishop tells CHSJ News the mayor of Quispamsis Murray Driscoll wants to get the ball rolling.
Bishop says the first meeting will gauge the see lay out the groundwork on possible topics and challenges they could face.
He says nothing is set in stone and if they were to proceed down the path of amalgamation, they would need to bring in a third party to assist them.
