This island just off into the distance is still on Saint John Waterfront Development's radar.The General Manager Kent MacIntyre tells CHSJ News they still plan on opening up Partridge Island to the public, but unfortunately just after they finished their reports, we walked straight into a recession.
He says they can't afford to develop the island on their own, but the project could move forward if they could secure partnership funding.
There's been some vandalism on the island—graffiti and broken glass for the most part—but MacIntyre says security would be included in their operational costs.
Saint John Waterfront Development rolled out their 5.1 million dollar plan to restore Partridge Island last year.
