So few jobs for such a large investment. But still great for the state.

But this story says for construction alone, 1,250 jobs will be available over the next two to three years. So, lots of people coming in. Housing prices and rents will likely go way up. Area towns will benefit greatly. If not enough housing, maybe some workers will have to commute from OKC and Tulsa: https://www.fox23.com/news/cushing-c...7ed1136e5.html

423 new refinery jobs considerably better than nothing for a small town.

Oh no, it will be great for Cushing. But it just seems high on a per permanent job basis, rhe investment is high. But these are good-paying jobs, so it will likely pay off, just take a bit more time.
