TACB oks permits for $1.4-billion construction
Formosa awaits EPA approval
Formosa Plastics Corp. ex-
pects to begin $1.3-billion worth
of construction as part of its
massive expansion at Point
Comfort pending final permit
approval by the Environmental
Protection Agency.
The action by the EPA is ex-
pected within a week and follows
the announcement last week by
the Texas Air Control Board that
it would issue permits that would
allow for work to begin on a
major portion of the eight-plant
expansion which will total $1.7-
billion. Permit applications for
the remaining $400-million
chemical plant are still being
prepared.
The permits approved by the
TACB which now await EPA ap-
proval would cover the building
of a go-generation plant, utilities
plant and various other plastic
production units of the 600-acre
facility.
Construction is already be-
ginning on the plant's adminis-
tration building which is due to
be completed in January.
According to Formosa offi-
cials, the hiring of entry-level
people for operations and main-
tenance will begin at the end of
this year. Already 30 engineers
have been hired by Formosa
with another 50 or more expected
to be hired from college this De-
cember. Altogether, the expan-
sion is expected to emplb”
1,500 persons of which five to
ten percent will be Taiwanese.
Formosa has set March 1991
as the completion date for con-
struction on what they consider
top priorities. Among those is a
caustic-chlorine plant, ethylene
dichloride plant, a 14-mile water-
supply pipeline from Lake Tex-
ana and a 390-megawatt co-gen-
eration plant.
After construction of the
facilities, Formosa will apply to
the TACB for operating permits.
To receive those permit ap-
provals, the firm must show that
each facility meets all TACB
rules and regulations. Water
permits from both the EPA and
Texas Water Commission must
also be obtained before any water
emissions from the facility can
take place.

Twenty-four individuals
and/or businesses have received
information on the City of Pala-
cios during the month of
September. With each of these
contacts there was either addi-
tional telephone conversations or
actual visits.
Four days were spent on the
road traveling to Houston and
Lufkin. In order to maximize the
Foundation funds, direct mail-
outs are being utilized to mini-
mize overhead.
With each new contact, new
information is obtained and col-
lected, thus our Foundaton con-
tinues to grow stronger. The
Economic Development
Foundation has a handful of very
interested prospects who are ex-
amining the Palacios area, and
although our optimism is high,
we are cautious to talk about ev-
erything that is going on until we
see concrete evidence that a
prospect has actually decided to
come to our area.
A video series is being
recorded in conjunction with the

call me at 972-3807. A seminar
will be conducted in December
on this series when the program
is completed. If you have an idea
on a new product or venture and
would like ideas on how to bring
your thoughts into reality, please
contact me. Recently, much has
been done through the state level
to not only encourage local en-
trepreneurs, but also to help fi-
nance these ventures. These in-
novative programs apply not
only to the first-time en-
trepreneur, but also to existing
business owners in retail, agri-
culture, and aqua-culture in ex-
pansion and diversification.
Finally, congratulations to all
of the individuals involved with
this year's BayFest. Based on
the reports I've heard so far, the
BayFest of 1989 was truly suc-
cessful. This success blended
well with the Economic Devel-
opment Foundation Effort in
filming the event for the GTE
video. The film crew arrived at
10 a.m. Saturday morning and
worked continuously until 4
p.m. Included in the filming
were scenes of the BayFest,
pavilion, Luther Hotel, high
school, Marine Education Cen-
ter, turning basins, St. An-
thony's Church and the welcome
sign. Thank you to all of the in-
dividuals who cooperated in the
filming of this video.
