Alumina Plant Expansion At Alcoa Costs 35 Million In Texas
In 1955 Alcoa planned a $35 million alumina plant adjacent to the Point Comfort Works. The Rockdale operation would gain 45 000 tons annually with two new potlines and Point Comfort 20 000 tons with one more. Hiring for expanded capacity was slated mid 1956 with about 300 Rockdale and 150 Point Comfort workers. A 36-foot channel project would allow ocean-going ships to deliver ore from South America and the Caribbean.
