We had a great turnout at our workshop for local businesses interested in opportunities for site prep and early works on the Gulf Coast Methanol Park project. Almost 200 businesses registered with McDermott, but we are still looking for more. IGP Methanol and McDermott will prioritize local businesses with home office locations in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana. At this stage, we are not yet looking for individuals.
