• $43 billion spent by Chevron on up-front development costs
  
• 10,000 jobs expected to be created during the construction phase
  
• $33 billion spent on local goods and services over the 30-year life span of the project
  
• 3,300 bed village under development to house construction workers on Barrow Island.
