I hear different, everyone is counting on this project to bring back good paying jobs in the area and be, somewhat of a beginning of the launch of the green energy hub project for the port.
The project has some steps done already and should be submitting a EIA soon to the government. The site is the old site of the petroleum export facility that was shot down by a crash of the oil prices and the recent, at the time, Lac Megantic tragedy.
They are also plaining to build rail spurs of the main spur to the site, meaning a railway traffic increase, and maybe it will warrant some investments on the Campbellton-Moncton segment that has been neglected over the years.
It is also phase one of a multi phase project that could see the quadrupling of the output of the initial phase.
You are probably referring to the Bennett protests, everyone was on board until they slipped that they might be burning radioactive contaminated soil. And also most of the opposition to the projects comes from people across the bay…..
