In the short term, we need to look to how we can help the laid off workers. All the solutions such as retraining and education will be challenged. This town has long feared this day as armegedon. GP has an obligation to help here. We'll see how they perform.
State government can step in.
Regardless, it will be traumatic for the workers. We should all do our best for them. Ten years from now everyone will say this was the good thing to have finally happen. We will have much more economic activity than has been possible in the past. Our downtown will now become attractive to businesses.
