Port Authority Rejects Suggestion It's Holding Up Harbour Cleanup

It's not a good way to do business.........That's the reaction of the President and C-E-O of the Saint John Port Authority, Jim Quinn to criticism that was voiced publicly the other night at Common Council.

The port authority was taken to task for what was described as a reluctance to resolve the property needs in order for harbour cleanup to be completed by the end of 2012. The city needs 625 square metres of port property on Broad Street at the foot of Water for a lift station.

Quinn concedes he was taken by surprise when its the port authority that's waiting for the city to respond to a request for clarification about the land on Broad Street needed for a lift station as part of the project.

 He tells CHSJ News a slanging match in public is not a good way to conduct business.
