Return urged for refinery owner to save Neodesha plant
Rep. Skubitz telegraphed Gov. Docking that the Kansas industrial development director should return from Ecuador to seek a new owner for the American Oil refinery in Neodesha. The plant, employing about 200, is to close next April as it is deemed obsolete. Skubitz argued keeping the plant alive matters more to Kansas than a survey of Ecuador's economic potential.
