Dow Asking for Patience with Parking Situation

Louisiana - October 19, 2005

In preparation of fulfilling ongoing business needs, Dow Louisiana Operations in Plaquemine is announcing plans to test pre-selected job candidates Monday, October 24^th through Thursday, October 27^th at the Dow Learning Center.

All applicants are to park in the Dow Learning Center parking lot with overflow in the St. John The Evangelist Catholic Church parking lot. Dow has an agreement with the church to utilize the side lot for overflow parking.

Dow is doing its best to minimize the impact of the overflow to the community, however, funerals and large meetings may cause more parking congestion on testing days. The community’s support and patience is appreciated.
