That is why I am grateful for the investment Duke Energy is making here in western Maricopa County."The new plant will be a natural gas-fired, combined cycle plant equipped with advance pollution control equipment. According to Duke, the project has met and exceeded environmental and community requirements and gained support of Maricopa's county supervisors.Duke said that during the 18-month construction period, the project will generate some 500construction-related jobs. When it's finished, a permanent staff of about 25 employees will operate and maintain the plant.Gov. Hull enthused, "The Arlington Valley Energy Facility will provide critically needed electrical generation capacity, add to our local economy by employing hundreds of skilled workers during construction and pay millions of dollars in taxes that will go to support local schools."
