Pike County Plant Seen as Industry Attraction Possibility
At a Athens Board of Trade dinner Robert A. Rose of the AEC Portsmouth area said the Pike County atomic energy plant could draw other industries to the region thanks to a large labor pool and steady power supply from the plant. Groundbreaking may occur within two weeks, with 3 billion in the appropriation and a 6400 acre tract reduced. 37,000 workers could peak for construction in September 1954, yielding a population gain of about 40,000 with families.
