Nice to see some positive economic news for Augusta. I have a feeling 2015 may be a game changing year for Augusta

Quote:
The Belgium-based company picked the south Augusta plastics plant over its sister facility in India, which already makes the polymer used in aeronautics, health care and electronic devices, said Alain De Greef, Solvay’s site manager in Augusta.
“Besides the reputation of this site, the good safety records and the quality, a big factor in the decision was the utilities cost,” he said. “Basically, (in) the U.S. and particularly here in Augusta, we have some advantages.”

Did this used to be the Amoco polymers plant? When it first opened it made most of the plastic for Tupperware.. so we always called it the Tupperware Plant.
