only to St. Croix, but to the
entire Island economy. Not
only does this shot in the arm
to our economy take place i'm
mediately, but there are per-
manent effects which come
from the improvement of the
site area, the employment of
four hundred or more people
on a permanent basis, as we'll
as the local purchases made
both by the employee and en-
ployer."
Senator Hodge said he be-
lieves the Harvey agreement
would come before the Legis-
prior to a vote or ratification.
The Governor expressed OPP
timism over this new industry
for St. Croix. He said that in
bis talk with officials cf the
Company, he learned that not
only would four hundred peo-
pie be employed at the plant,
but that probably another
four hundred jobs in addition
would be created locally. In
other words, when the four
hundred on the Harvey pay
rel spend their salaries, the
Governor said there will be
need for more shop keepers,
sales people, service people
and so on, so that we estimate
another four hundred will be
employed in various other St.
Croix businesses and this
would not be seasonal either.
Among those attending the
meeting at Government House
in st. Thomas were Senators

The release continues:
"At the conclusion of the
meeting, Senator Hodge
and Governor ~PaieWonsky
in a joint statement pointed
out that the proposed TWEEN
ty-five million dollar plant
would take about a year
and a half to build and most
people do not realize that
within a short time after
the project gets under way,
there would be a multi-mil-
lion dollar payroll with an
estimated fifteen hundred
workers who would be en-
gagged in constructing the
plant itself"
Hodge pointed out that,
"Seventy-five per cent Of the
employees on the permanent
payroll would be local residents
according to the proposed con-
tract" He said that local resi-
dents would be given priority
for the construction job as
we'll.
The Governor and the Sena-
tor stated that the proposed
site at Limetree Bay, Krause
Lagoon area in St. Croix,
would "Have dock facilities
for receiving and shipping
bulk materials by oceangoing
