BERRY CONCERNED ABOUT TECO DECISION
Congressman Vows to Work with Energy Company to Save Arkansas Jobs

WASHINGTON, DC -- United States Representative Marion Berry (D-AR) today issued the following statement in response to TECO's announcement that it would temporarily suspend construction on its new plant in Dell:

"While I understand why TECO decided to temporarily suspend construction, I am disappointed by this decision, because Mississippi County's struggling economy needs those jobs. However, I am optimistic that the key word in today's announcement is the word 'temporary'. I am hopeful that we can work with them to put this project back on track and protect these good-paying jobs in Northeast Arkansas," Berry said.
