Irving Oil has cleared another hurdle in developing the Long Wharf site in uptown Saint John. The city’s Planning Advisory Committee has adopted staff recommendations that a waterfront district be established –and–that Irving Oil be allowed to place 3 acres of land within the new designation. The company wants to build a four-story office complex and cruise ship terminal. City planner Ken Forrest says this is an opportunity to implement the Inner Harbour Land Use Plan.
PAC Chair Stephen Horgan says he hopes common council will give extra consideration to the impact the project will have on local fishers– and– speed up Harbour Clean up to deal with raw sewerage that would come from the one thousand-employee office building.
