Anaconda Co. Says Expansion Plans Were Misinterpreted
Anaconda Co. general manager P. Largey MacDonald says reports of southeast expansion are long term and not current plans. The issue arose during a Butte school board meeting about a new elementary school site near East Junior High, with the company owning nearby fields and property. MacDonald notes no jeopardy to current properties but opposes selling land for homes near potential mining operations. He envisions the company located two miles away from residential areas and emphasizes buffer zones east of Garfield Street.
