Tribe May Lose Potato Plant If It Does Not Act
Gallup reports the Navajo Nation faces losing the potato processing plant if fast action isn’t taken. The project, led by R D Offutt Cov and Navajo Agricultural Products Industries, could move to Kirtland or Bloomfield without a tribe financial commitment of about 10 million dollars. NAPI officials urge timely council support to keep the plant on the reservation and sustain jobs and tax revenue.
