The Placentia Area Blog: Gloomy News
http://placentiablog.blogspot.com/2008/02/gloomy-news.html
Wednesday, February 13, 2008. INCO's test plant in Argentia is closing in June. 130 jobs will disappear from the area. And not a sod turned in Long Harbour, which isn't due to start for another 3 years. It's gloomy news. Placentia has lost 1,617 people from 1991 to 2006. Many businesses have closed, and I've heard rumours more will soon be shutting. Personally, I find it hard not to be morose at the news. Posted by Placentia Blog. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
