Atmospheric Issues
Welcome, as you may know, I am the new elected mayor of Sparksville, Mayor Scarborough. The local high-tech manufacturing company has recently moved their manufacturing operations to South Korea. This has caused some of Sparksville’s citizens to lose their job. Right now the highest priority on my list is to bring more jobs to the city while keeping the air as clean as possible. To bring in new jobs, three completely different industries have proposed a plan to bring in new jobs. All of the companies have been recommended by the state department of economic development. The three different industries were a warehouse distribution center, a car manufacturing plant, and an oil refinery.
The warehouse distribution center, Direct 2 U, is a furniture distributor that would employee 250 people with no jobs going overseas. Many employees would be living in the city spending money and paying taxes; which will help maintain the local economy. Direct 2 U, would need to build a building big enough to store the furniture, garages for the trucks, and a parking lot for employees. The company says that there would be little to no emissions even though there would be many large trucks entering and leaving the city.
The next option was the car manufacturing plant, Epic Generation Automotive, a hybrid car manufacturer. This company would employee 1,000 people from Sparksville, with a wide variety of career opportunities. This company would help economic development by having the ability to grow. The company is focused on being “green” and using “green” technologies to minimize their carbon footprint. Green technology is used for the intent to reverse or mitigate the effects of human activity on the environment. ("Green Technology - What Is It?", 2015).
The last option to create new jobs for Sparksville was the oil refinery. Reliance Oil would hire 2,000 people for their
