Plant Closure in St. Mary's Causes Economic Blow to Community
What happened
A collection of communities in St. Mary's Bay is facing a major economic blow following the decision by Daley Seafoods not to rebuild its plant in the area. The former facility burned down, and Terry Daley informed Mayor Stephen Ryan of the company's decision to shift its focus to the Placentia Bay community of Southern Harbour. The owner stated that the plant closure was a difficult outcome for the community.
