Not enough development on the west side apparently. Heard this on 88.9 news radio...some people want to bring back the old City of Lancaster.
This is also the first confirmation that I've seen of Wal-Mart coming to that new power centre on the west side. I wonder if this kills plans for a KV store...can't see a city that size having 3 Wal-Marts.

SAINT JOHN, NB - Mayor Norm McFarlane says you can' t tell developers where to locate.
That in response to word that the West Side Business Association wants to separate because it feels not enough development is going west.
McFarlane says developers tend to go east and you can't force them to go to a specific area.
He says no one has approached him yet.
"People have the right to voice their opinion and if that's what they feel then I'm sure they'll do some work on it. We'll set at City Hall and wait. Nobody has come to City Hall to talk to us. We're open, so come and talk to us." McFarlane said
McFarlane says they are working on a development for the west side.
He says it's to be located along Fairville Boulevard.
It involves Wal-Mart as an anchor store.
