J.D.
Irving Ltd. and other forest companies are willing to spend $1 billion on mill
upgrades and silviculture if the provincial government will guarantee the
companies enough long-term access to Crown land, according to an official.
Mary
Keith, the vice-president of communications with J.D. Irving, said the Saint
John-based company and "other partners" have assembled plans for
possible investments in the forest sector, which could add up to $1 billion."That amount is not exclusively with our company, although we do represent a significant amount of what will be potentially invested," she said.
