The proposed PolyMet mine in Hoyt Lakes would have a huge positive impact on the northern Minnesota economy. Plus, it would provide approximately 400 new and permanent, good-paying jobs along with hundreds of spin-off jobs for surrounding communities, including Duluth.
PolyMet has demonstrated in its environmental impact statement it can produce copper/nickel metals while following Minnesota's strict environmental requirements to protect the air, water and land. The PolyMet project has been designed to minimize environmental impacts and will utilize multiple safeguards to protect the environment.
The bottom line is that this project makes sense, and we need to move forward with the permitting process!
