Kepone tarnishes Hopewell image says economist
A Virginia state economist warns Kepone contamination has tarnished Hopewell’s industrial appeal and may deter new firms. Dr. Philip M. Gabel notes tighter controls after Kepone poisoning could lessen investment, though overall economic impact remains uncertain. Life Science Products Co. produced Kepone for about 18 months before closing last July after worker poisonings. Fishing bans in the James River were partially lifted as remediation proceeded.
