Co-Op Plant Work Outlined for Southern Illinois Cooperatives
Ora Snider spoke to the Herring Lions Club about a new plant south of Marion serving three cooperatives. The plant would employ 175 workers with a $710,000 yearly payroll in 1964, rising to about $1 million within ten years. About 40 Williamson County residents would earn $200,000 in wages in 1964. A test transmission began Tuesday, and the plant will burn an estimated 120,000 tons of area coal in 1964. It will power over 25,000 member owners of the Egyptian Electric, Southeastern Illinois Electric, and Southern Illinois Electric Cooperatives.
