The long-awaited government funding to help redevelop Fundy Quay in uptown Saint John finally arrived on Friday.
The funding will get the site ready for a proposed $300- 350-million multi-use development on the former Coast Guard site along the city’s waterfront.
The federal government will be contributing $9-million; the New Brunswick government will be contributing $6-million and the City of Saint John will also be contributing nearly $9-million to the project.
The funding will go towards necessary infrastructure work to make the site development-ready. This includes contaminated soil remediation, site re-grading and seawall refurbishments at the site, along with the redesign of Loyalist Plaza and the extension of Harbour Passage around Fundy Quay.

The City of Saint John has issued a tender for seawall refurbishments at the former Coast Guard site on the waterfront.
Work will involve repairing the aging seawall and raising it by around 1.5 metres to protect from rising sea levels and storm surges.
The work is estimated to cost around $8.1 million. The federal government has already committed $3.2 million toward the refurbishments.
Lisa Caissie, a spokesperson for the city, said they remain optimistic that provincial funding will be announced “soon.”
“The refurbishment of the seawall and the development of the Fundy Quay site is a catalytic project that the City looks forward to seeing move forward,” Caissie said in an email.
