OCI CLAIMS THAT The development, if approved, would create 30 to 40 full-time jobs in CBS, would see five freezer vessels make about 60 trips into the port per year and deal with about 25,000 tons of catch over that time, according to the company.

When the Long Pond Harbour Authority began looking for proposals to purchase 12 acres of the waterlot, the land underneath the harbour, opportunity presented itself for OCI. AT A PRICE OF A DOLLAR, THE LIST OF PROPOSALS MUST HAVE BEEN RELATIVELY SHORT

“It was quite extensive,” Sullivan said. “We’ve had multiple engineering companies look at different aspects of this…They’ve done modeling of the harbour and basically their findings are (that) our development has negligible impact.” IN FACT, SOME OF THE EXPENSIVE REPORTS INCLUDE PICTURES TAKEN OFF THE ADVOCACY FACEBOOK PAGE. THAT IS WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT WITH EXPENSIVE REPORTS.
