A Win for RichmondBY KORY JUDD
We are excited to announce that theRichmond City Council voted 5-0 (with 2 abstentions) on July 29 toapprove the Refinery ModernizationProject. We want to thank the City
Council members who supported modernization, andwe look forward to starting an important project thatwill put more than 1,000 people to work. We also wantto recognize the more than 11,000 residents, laborunion members, business partners, non-profitorganizations and Chevron employees who activelysupported modernization, many of whom attendedPlanning Commission and City Council meetings todemonstrate that Richmond deserves a newer, safer,cleaner refinery. This project would not be possiblewithout your help and support.
This project represents a win for the community, ourworkforce and the refinery. Modernization as approvedwill mean a decrease in emissions, a safety programthat far exceeds regulatory requirements and a $90million investment in Richmond and North Richmond — commitments that reflect input from residents andrepresent significant compromises on our part.
We will now move quickly to resolve ongoing legalissues related to the original project by early 2015. Atthat time, and barring further appeals, we could beginconstruction, which will take about 18-24 months tocomplete.
Kory Judd is Chevron Richmond’s Refinery GeneralManager.
