Tucson Chamber supports Rosemont copper mine
The Tucson Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce has come out in support of
opening the Rosemont Copper mine in the Santa Rita Mountains.
In
an announcement, the chamber said its support is contingent on the
anticipated acceptable result of an Environmental Impact Study (EIS) and
on the presumption that the mine’s construction is lawful.
The
chamber said in a news release, “The jobs that will be created by the
Rosemont Mine are most assuredly needed to sustain the Southern Arizona
economy. The ripple effect by Rosemont will have a positive economic impact on large numbers of businesses in our region."
