 The Company's website says the proposed site is on the Tombigbee River in North Mobile County and South Washington County. While some people we talked to are looking forward to the jobs the plant could bring, others are saying no way, "I think it'll be a total disaster for the environment and the people that live here too you know," said Perry Cunningham of Calvert. But Chris Adams of Calvert said, "think it'll create a lot of jobs in this area here. Unemployment is pretty high in this area right now. So, I think it'll be good for the area." ThyssenKrupp is considering another location to build the plant. The company's website says that proposed site is in St. James Parish, Louisiana.
