I wonder where it ranks in environmental damage?
I think we need an overpass there at the railway, so the traffice does not hinder rail operations.
I agree that being held up by the road being blocked or the smell can get annoying but I am thankful for that mill. My husband has worked there for over 21 years now and we have raised our sons comfortably because of this mill. We’ve always been blessed with good health insurance and food on the table. I just hope this mill will remain open and profitable for years to come!
Now if they could just add something to the stuff to make it smell better! But as a friend who works there said “it smells like money” to him!! LOL!
Yep,just the other day I was on my way home from work after a long day and i was just sitting and thinking how much I admired I.P…. I had plenty of time to think about it because stuck in traffic waiting for the the train that was going back and forth into I.P. I bet everyone waiting in all those cars in front of me and everyone in the cars behind me were thinking about how much they admire I.P. as well. Oh yeah I almost forgot, the red light there in front of the mill that let two or three of those logging trucks out in front of us once traffic finally started moving. Well that… that was kinda admirable as well. ( I know I.P. does alot for the community as they should, this is just me getting a little shot in)
Great job IP, keep up the good work. It is nice to see a positive story about industry in this area.
