note: asss i#*MfMi a FINNING PLANS IN tHEWOMKS 1,000 jobs coming ALDERGROVE - A billion-dollar Canadian industry employing some 1,000 people will be relocating in north Aldergrove if they can receive township council's "expeditious" blessing. The Finning tractor company plans to develop a 70-acre site inside the Gloucester industrial park as their new world-wide headquarters, company spokesman Lyle Norlander announced Monday night. Finning chose the Gloucester site because it was the only one meeting all company requirements as to accessibility, he said. It can easily be reached by trucks and trains, by air, and by barge (in the nearby Fraser River). Over the remainder of this decade, a number of buildings and a helicopter landing pad will be erected on the site between 268 Street and 272 Street, according to the company's submitted plans. Finning sells and services Caterpillar tractors all over the world. Plans show an attractive industrial development blending in well with the surrounding countryside, and Norlander promised that all environmental concerns would be met in regards to noise and chemical pollution No pollutants will be permitted to enter the air or the headwaters of the West Creek which run through the property; he said, using a report prepared by an environmental group as backup for the claim. Norlander said the company in cooperation with the fisheries ministry would even "enhance the creek to encourage spawning of salmon of which there are currently traces of Coho and Chum species."
