From the transcript
It is nearly 9 times the footprint and 13 times the production capacity of similar projects the small community has experienced in the past. It's a large project. It will require the relocation of our highway since two-thirds of the facility footprint is located on the east side of the highway, one-third on the west side of the highway, the inlet side. We're not exactly sure where the highway will have its final location, but we do know that it will bisect Nokiski from the remainder of the peninsula. While we contribute to and absorb the cost, reconnecting subdivisions in the area, and we're supportive.
