Hello,
The ICT Incubator sounds like a great idea, I am sure that a partnership with UNSBJ and private industry uptown could prove quite productive.
As for the Coast Guard site I am sad to hear that NB Liquor backed out - upscale developments like that are just what uptown needs to spur gentrification and further such development. I'm sure they will open somewhere else uptown, and I at least take comfort knowing that the Hardman group is looking at the tone and level of development.
It is also good to hear SJ's housing market is doing so well - I would like to see it in a metropolitan breakdown (to see if Grand Bay-Westfield/Rothesay/Quispamsis still represent the majority of growth).
I am especially happy to know that the federal transit funding for the Com-X program will be forthcoming. That will really change the urban dynamics of Saint John drastically.
At any rate, all very good news.
