Mayor Says “New Hope in Atikokan”

A breath of fresh air has blown through Atikokan.
Mayor Dennis Brown is reacting to the announcement that the Atikokan Coal Plant will be switching to Bio-fuel.
Brown says the moral of the community jumped when the announcement was made last week.
The conversion is expected to create over 200-jobs.
The next step of the conversion is the development of a power purchase agreement with Ontario Power Generation and the Ontario Power Commission.
