Way to go Jan Tetreault! Now perhaps you will get the recognition you seem to want. Too bad it will be soooo negative! Go away.

Jan,
Thereis no way to get any more land zoned heavy industrial either. People like you have ruined our once thriving economy here on the Oregon Coast. I wish you would quit beng part of the problem and be a part of the solution. I would like to be able to live here, make a decent wage, and raise a family. You've already got yours and you and people like you want to deny me my chance. What is with that? Why don't you consider moving back to where you came from? Doesn't sound good does it? Your position is bascially asking me to leave where I grew up. Try looking at it from a worker's point of view. We can't all own a native plant nursery.

Are you serious???? You aren't from Reedsport are you? You never buy local do you? Find something else to do, something else to pick on! Paul Dailey, YOU GO! Don't listen to her, she just tries to cause problems anyway possible. You did your research, you did what you had to, now GO PAUL GO!!!!!

I have no questions at all. Good for Dailey. Remember Great Western in Enterprise? Pellet Mills are inherently clean - they chew up and lightly roast sawdust and wood chips then then compress them into pellets. Clean as clean can be. Let's push the detractors out before they can clutter this thing up with their typical delaying tactics they way they do in Coos Bay. Get it done.

Jan,
Are you a California transplant? Bolon Island has been an industrial zoned area for years. This land provided my family job opportunities up until the 1980's when the timber industry declined. I am very happy about the prospect of this business starting up. I think it will be a good thing for Reedsport. There is always someone who wants to ruin a good thing by bringing up nonsense issues.

I really hope that this works out. This area needs some more jobs around here. I would rather buy my pellets from a local made place than from somewhere else.

This is where some of those stimulus dollars should be going. A very low interest loan and some improvement to the the site would be nice.

Kudos! I am excited about this plant. If he produces a good product, Local business owners will probably buy from him and without having to pay the high cost of shipping from Cascade Locks or Brownsville, the saved monies may well be passed onto the consumers. And if he designs the factory with the flood plain in mind, I think he will do wonderfully. This influx of business sounds like a great thing for Reedsport.

Thanks to Jack Carrerow for covering the Coastal PAC meeting. One slight addition: My comments at the meeting were directed toward questioning the wisdom of Heavy Industry in the Estuary between the Smith and Umpqua Rivers rather than just the importance of the wetland sites identified on Bolon Island. There is no way to mitigate an Estuary.
