Thirty-eight percent of people who took the survey say the facility will have a “moderate impact,” and 33% say it will have a “significant” impact. Twenty-one percent say the plant will have “little” impact locally, and 5% say it will have no impact on the region. Nearly 1,050 people participated in the poll. The first phase of the plant will be a $750 million reduced iron facility that will employ 150 people.
