Figures. I didnt think Dickenson County had a shot.
You read right. http://www.wcyb.com/newsread.asp?newsid=7056
IMHO that is great news (All of us DC resadends have to travel out of county to work anyway at lese it is close LOL)
ANy clue on when construction will start? I figure that will be a major project in itself
The 500-600 megawatt project would create 800 jobs during construction as well as 75 at the station and 250 mining jobs once the station is operating. It would also add significantly to local tax revenue and be a boost to the local economy "? all while providing clean, reliable and economic electricity for Virginia families and businesses.
I read that it would take about 3 years to get going.
I seen News Center 5 setup at Virginia City. Just outside St. Paul this afternoon.
So i'd say it's pretty reliable.
3 yrs of construction will mean for some good money here locally.
And the long time jobs and revenue a true plus.
Some folks did a good job of getting them to pick Wise Co. I heard this was a highly sought after project.
This is a major development. Huge for Wise County.
You got that right.
A big shot in the arm. Not just for WC but this whole region.
I'd say all the local counties will benefit some from it.
A good day all the way around for the local area.
You are right, but Wise County is going to receive all the major revenue though.
