Announced at the Dover City Council meeting, Mayor Richard Homrighausen said, “All employees will be union employees, with a projected payroll of between $1 million to $1.25 million weekly. While this project has a relatively short duration, there are other pipeline projects that Price Gregory, or companies like Price Gregory, will be bidding on, which could lengthen the time frame and use of this property.”
The Dover Planning Commission met in special session prior to the meeting to amend a city ordinance which will allow factory-built structures on property zoned for heavy manufacturing, “where a business may be temporarily located to perform construction work.”
The mayor emphasized the structures will not be used for living quarters, and asked the council to approve the amendments on an emergency basis, instead of the three typical readings of legislation, because Price Gregory personnel may be on site next week to begin the planning process. Materials will be stored in the buildings beginning in February, and construction of the 16” diameter pipeline will begin in April with September as the completion date.
MHProNews understands about half of the 400 employees will be subject to Dover’s 1.5 percent city income tax. ##
