New job opportunity for Chase will be just one of the things on the upcoming council meeting agenda.
A wood pellet manufacturing facility will be proposed during a Sept. 10 council meeting which will be taking place at the Chase Community Hall.
A company called Pinnacle Renewable Energy will be on the agenda as a delegation.
The company is expected to provide a presentation to council and the community on their proposed business.
Pinnacle Renewable Energy would like to place a wood pellet manufacturing facility on the former mill site on Aylmer Road that will permit the processing and packaging of forest and wood products.
While some Chase residents are already expressing their concerns regarding the potential new business, others believe it would complement the already well-established Adam’s Lake Lumber Mill just a few kilometres away.
The public is invited to come and see this presentation and gain a better understanding of what is being suggested and their views for the future.
The company has stated that jobs will be created as a result of the pellet manufacturing facility coming to Chase. It was also noted that there would be an expected ‘trickle-down’ effect on local businesses of having this facility in Chase.
The meeting is set to begin at 4 p.m..
