CAMP LIBERTY, Iraq — U.S. service members and Iraqis broke ground May 5 for the building of the first locally-owned and operated gas station on Camp Liberty.
The new business was completely funded by Iraqis and was another step toward providing more jobs for Iraqis to help stimulate the local economy.
“This is a project that was entirely developed by Iraqis, and all the funding has come from Iraqi companies,” said Capt. Derek Hoffman, a native of Yelm, Wash., who serves as an Iraqi business initiative liaison with the 2nd Stryker Cavalry Regiment, Multi-National Division – Baghdad. “The Iraqis will build and operate the station, and they will supply it with Iraqi gas. This will not only stimulate the Iraqi fuel industry, but the transportation industry.” Read More
