The Vice President of Sales for Dyno Nobel,  the company that has been turned down in their application to build an explosives plant near Crescent Spur says “we where surprised at the latest decision, given that a few months back we had received a favourable reaction from the Regional District and the surrounding communities.”

David McConach says, “ we will build a new plant it just isn’t going to be in Crescent Spur” .

We had thought we had received a favorable response from the people in the McBride area about the plant; we are a team player and are good corporate citizens

Apart from that McConach said the area looked like it needed industry and we where moving that way.

We are disappointed given that we went through a lengthy process to get this far. The company had proposed the construction of an explosive plant in the Crescent Spur area.

 The Mayor of McBride, Mike Frazier, says he is aware that the Calgary based company is being “wooed” by other towns and regional districts.  He is concerned Dyno Nobel will move elsewhere.

While the plant will only provide three full time jobs, the facility would increase the tax base for the area.
