Oberstar Backs PolyMet

The proposed PolyMet Copper-Nickel mine in St. Louis County has won the backing of Minnesota Congressman Jim Oberstar. The project has also won a draft Environmental Impact Statement determination of adequacy.

Oberstar says the project will produce some 300 construction jobs and 400 permanent jobs, with an annual payroll of $40-million. He says there should be 500 spin-off jobs worth an economic impact of $242-million.
