The City of Regina will be investing into the construction of a biofuel processing plant near the city.
True North Renewable Fuels Ltd. (TNRF) asked City Council on Wednesday to approve a $1 million dollar grant, citing it was essential to the construction of the plant.
Mayor Sandra Masters says the facility’s potential is exciting.
“It would be enormous to the city, if it were between $800 million and $1.5 billion in investment,” said Masters. “I think doing the math on that, it’s a couple thousand construction jobs over the course of the next several years, and then an ongoing, depending on the spinoff, there’s anywhere between 150-350 permanent jobs.”
