Chronicle headline---Bronco president unveils proposal for glass plant in Napa

Bronco Wine Co. president Fred Franzia said Tuesday his company is exploring the possibility of building a $200 million glass container plant in Napa Valley

Franzia claims the project will create 350 jobs with an annual payroll in excess of $35 million and that it will increase Napa’s tax base by $2 million per year.

Franzia also claims the strategic location will eliminate 62,000 truck loads or roughly 375,000 diesel-driving hours per year—eliminating tons of air pollutants. Raw materials would arrive via rail.
