PORT ANGELES — Developer Jerry Ward figures his $120 million resort on the Rayonier pulp mill site would ultimately employ between 350 and 400 people.

He said the water park and aquarium alone would provide 180 jobs.

“Using a conservative salary figure of $12.50 per hour, the project will result in salaries between $10.5 million and $13 million,” Ward’s project narrative states.

In an interview with the PDN on Wednesday, Ward said wages would range from $100,000 a year for executives to minimum wage for maids.

He said the $12.50 hourly figure represents the average wage of all worker salaries combined.
