The l.am b Weston Potato plant
may close, or cut back operations if
the Port of M orrow does not lower
its water and sewer b ills, John
Bristow o f the Port told the Hcpp
ner Chamber o f Commerce last
week
Bristow said the potato processing
company has told the Port it would
like to see its $33,500 per month
water and sewer service charge
lowered so the company can keep its
Boardman plant competitive
The plant is located in the Port o f
M orm w in Boardman and presently
employs around 450 people It is the
largest employer in Boardman and
M orm w County
Water and sewer fees paid by
la m b Weston arc used to pay o ff
debts the Port incurred when install
ing a large waste water disposal
system used in the processing o f
potatoes Bristow said the Port's tlebt
on the waste system ami Hint to about
$4 6 m illion
“ If Lamb Weston shuts down it
would have a severe impact on
businesses and the county tax base."
Bristow told (he chamber But he
added, “ if we (the Port) reduce
revenue, it w ill affect other Port ac
tivities such as the airport, operating
engineers etc
Several members of the Boardman
Chamber were on hand at the
meeting, and one expressed concern
over the impact o f the possible
closure o f the Ia m b Weston plant
“ A few years ago we had eleven-
hundred jobs and they were running
46 weeks m il o f the y e a r,'' said !>>n
Russell, who runs a service station
and o il distribution in Boardman
“ la m b Weston employment is now
down to about 500 jobs and 26
w eeks," he said " I t has had a
drastic impact on those that are left,
and we are w orking on what we can

Bristow said that when a propos
ed landfill is opened in M orm w
County, and large amounts o f waste
material begins arriving at the Port's
shipping terminal (T 3), the Port w ill
have another source of income, to
offset a reduction in rates to laimb-
Weston However, Bristow pointed
out, the landfill fees w on't begin
flowing until the landfill is opera
tional sometime in 1991
A larger tax buse for the Port has
been discussed by some in the coun
ty, however. Bristow did not go as
far as to propose higher taxes to fill
the gap The Port presently has a tax
base ot $45,000 per year, and has in
the past operates! on the theory o f
non lax revenues p a yin g fo r
