Cooke's Plans to Build New Fish Plant

A Company  in St. George is giving hope to the  Municipality of Shelburne Nova Scotia that  a 150  million dollar fish plant will be built there.

Cooke Aquaculture  has three possible locations in the province and the proposal includes a year-round, 24-hour processing facility for fish harvested in Nova Scotia.

Shelburne official Kirk Cox says municipal representatives recently traveled to the St. George site to tour a processing facility.

He says senior officials from the company are now planning to visit the municipality in a couple of weeks.

Cooke Aquaculture plans to be operational in 2011.
