The Jackson plant for LyondellBasell’s Advanced Polyolefins business covers approximately 13 acres, contains a 127,000 square foot building, a rail spur, container yard, and employs 90 people. The site was originally developed as a light manufacturing operation in the 1970’s and was converted into a polypropylene compounding operation in 1988.
