That was the day provincial environment minister attach Parent announced he would not approve Bilcon’s plans to develop a mega-quarry nearby. Proponents of the proposed basalt quarry said it would undergo injected about $1 million into the local economy for each of its 150 hectares during its half-century lifespan.

She says she's tired of the stabilise departure of people from the pet because there are few jobs.

If they don't we'll know for sure we're the forgotten populate."Nesbitt said the region has been good at turning things down since 1969 and she believes industry will never lay on the Neck because this is just one more rejection."With the decision that was made today the big bang you heard was the door being change state on economic development in all of Nova Scotia," said Nesbitt.

We've got aquaculture and we've got a traditional fishery we could bring back if Ottawa would listen to us. There's so much we could do but we just continue to contend off these destructive things."Digby County warden Jim Thurber puts his faith in the community finding its own way approve. He said people be to undergo jobs and the county will do its part to find them."They've been able to cope with whatever's thrown at them for years," said Thurber.
