The community of Greenstone is learning more about a processing facility for Ring of Fire development.
Nearly 500 people participated in a recent information session with Cliff's Natural Resources, which is looking for a place to process the massive chromite deposit.
Mayor Ron Beaulieu said the positive response shows just how much support there is.
“From the beginning it seemed like there was quite the interest from our people in the area, which is normal because we need these kinds of projects in the community of Greenstone and in all of Northwestern Ontario,” he said.
“So it’s definitely a positive response from the people here right now.”
Sudbury has been named as the base case for the facility, and Thunder Bay is also being considered.
A decision isn't expected in the near future.
