Yesterday I couldn’t spell engineer. Today I R 1.
But seriously, can anyone predict the economic impact? It is truely hard to say. But I do know that it couldn’t hurt.

REGARDING:
“You must be one of those I R 1 engineers.”

You, too, can be an engineer. All it takes is math, science, work and good looks.

Re: REGARDING
Infoulable logic. If we get more employed outsiders to come take our new jobs, the unemployment rate would plummet.

REGARDING:
jobs, yeah right
“Well paying jobs will be for people the company brings in not locals.”

True, but after thirty years — well, okay, forty years — those invaders will be locals and any children born at least five years after their invasion will be locals automatically. Further, there are SOME jobs even locals are smart enough and experienced enough to do already. Add to that the thought that some who had to leave to earn livings may come back to take those jobs.

In the mean time, those newbies will be spending their money locally — so the benefits might even reach the rest of the community.

David for the long view

I understand there is a well near the Poplar Dell area, it is a producing well or an old one they are trying to drill again? That would be great for the area of century

This is one time Walnut Hill residents need to start sending those E mails out to
Gov Scott, Mr Evers and Miller. I will send some myself.

This future of Walnut Hill is too serious a matter, to be left to our commissioners.

This country better be thinking about assisting in the oil business because we CANNOT KEEP DEPENDING ON FOREIGN COUNTRIES FOR OUR OIL./GAS.
The worse thing this county ever did was put the zoning plans into place that we have now. We cannot allow our children/grandchildren to build on our own land anymore,maybe two or three but no more. This zoning was brought on by people in office (and I knew them) that was not from this area, knew nothing about farmland or country living so they proposed this and it was adopted. That was because people implementing this had never lived in a rural area and moved here from some northern state but will not call any names but THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED. I wish I didn’t own any property in Escambia County because of this law that was enacted a few years back. Now they will try to block this new project up our way.

West of the five ton rated bridge on Arthur Brown Road but could reach it from other directions or the county could bring the bridge up to standards.

@ sister, yes several of the wells in the Jay and Century area are still producing. They have been constantly reworking wells in this area for over a year now and I’ve heard they are going to drill at least one or maybe two new wells in the Wiggins lake field this year. The pipeline they want to offload the rail cars into carries oil from the Jay plant to Mobile.
