With two years under his belt as chair of the downtown Sackville Business Improvement Association (BIA), Anthony Maddalena is planning to step down next month, and the organization in on the hunt for a new chair. The BIA held their annual general meeting last night at town hall, and re-elected the current slate of directors, including, Maddelena, Wendy Epworth, Judith Cane, Andrew Black and Chris Harborne. New nominee Greg Soper was also elected.

Maddalena says that in addition to his impending resignation, treasurer Judith Cane is also planning to step down once a replacement can be found. He says that over the past two years, the board was focused on revitalizing and organizing the institution which had grown inactive. He says that with a $20,000 annual budget, the BIA could be doing plenty to promote downtown Sackville.

CHMA spoke with Maddelena shortly after the meeting Wednesday night.
