Town of McCloud divided on conflicting reports regarding Nestle bottling plant

Posted by: Aqua Blog Maven on April 3, 2008 at 4:26 am

For those of you following the McCloud Nestle bottling plant story, here’s an article from the Mt. Shasta News:

Since the Nestle Waters bottling plant contract was signed in 2003, many McCloud citizens feel the community has become divided into two separate groups: those who support the project and those who oppose it.

At the center of this divide are different economic reports that support each side’s claims and concerns. The divide was apparent during the March 24 regular meeting of the McCloud Community Services District, as nearly 50 citizens (representing both pro and con) packed Scout Hall to hear a presentation on the report released in October by ECONorthwest Consulting of Eugene, Ore.

Following the presentation by the McCloud Watershed Council, Nestle project manager Dave Palais argued against some of the report’s claims. Members of the McCloud Community Services District board of directors also spoke on the issue (see page A2).

The ECONorthwest report differs in many of its conclusions from independent reports done for Nestle by economists at the University of California Davis and California State University Chico.
