2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmnanville, December 22, 1976 Hydro Report (Prom Page One) housing. Talking in termis of numbers the MacLaren report notes thaf by 1984 when construction in Darlingfon is supposed f0 be at ifs peak, tbere wilh be 604 people associafed with the bydro project living in Osh- awa. Tbat's more than the num- ber of workers expecfed f0 be locafed in Courtice, Newcastle and Bowmanville combined. Move to Newcastle "If is our besf estimate fbat npproximately 120 const rue- tion workers and 50 operat ions people will seek f0 move into the communifies of New- castle"., the report says. The report ndds thaf includ- ing the workers familles and otber secondary population, this represents about 500 people. The MacLaren report states thaf Bowmanville ns the iargesf town in Newcastle would gain mosf of this population.' Looking at dollars nnd cents, the Dariington- plant wili be a mixed blessing, according fo the MacLaren report. More Jobs Firsf of ail, if is esfîmated that about 700 permanent positions will beavailable at the Darlington plant. If is estimated that about 100 people already living near the FLOWERS DRIED station wïll take one some of these jobs. The bydro workers at Dar- lington during the construc- tion period will bc well paid, according to the report. If states "The project is esfim- ated f0 create over $260 million in wage and salary spending of which up f0 145 million could remain in the local area." Ontario Hydro contracts that will be placed locally are estimafed f0 be in excess of $10 million. But, on the other side of the coin, the Hydro report admifs that igber wages offered by Hydro may draw some work- ers away from local, lower paying jobs. "The projecf may draw some of the farm labor away from the farms due f0 comparatively high wage rates, if explains." About 500 unskilled jobs will be available af the Darlington plan durîng construction. Two bundred and fiffy of these would be drawn from the local area. Ontario Hydro reports on the Darlingfon plant are available at municipal offices, libraries, and public utilîfies offices in Hampton, Orono, and Newcastle. The reports are contained in fwo volumes and they were released ast week. Ontario's Energy Minister, Dennis Timbreli, is asking the public f0 take a look at the bydro reports and make comments hy Marcb, 1977.
