Black Gold for Harrison

Harrison City was recently contacted by Zentor Gas Corporation to explore the Brown Woodlands for Possible minerals. Zentor, if minerals were found, would pledge 5% of the total revenue from the Brown Woodlands to go straight to Harrison City which would be a nice boost in city revenue. The Harrison City Council was mostly in favor of the exploration and potential mining with some asking for a larger cut of the profit but said they would be cautious and proceed slowly. Some environmentalists have opposed the potential mining but insurances by the city council that strict guidelines would have to be met has quelled most people’s fears.
