Trojan in Twilight: Main Entrance

Trojan Nuclear Power Plant Sign on April 22, 2006.

At the main entrance to the Trojan site stands this sign. This is not the original sign from when the plant was operational, which declared this the "Trojan Nuclear Power Plant" (though it does stand on the original pedestal). Now, it is simply the "Trojan Project" and Trojan Park is listed separately.

This sign was intended to list the names of all the tenants PGE hoped to lure into the vacated office buildings after the plant closed.

The only other name visible on this sign, on the BACK of one of the spaces, is Barrett Robotic Welding Services, a contractor that sealed up the generators during the plant's decommissioning.
