Mayor Steve Ryan says the plant employed two full shifts this season, and all workers qualified for their EI.
He says they’ve got houses being built in the region. “We even have a person doing up an apartment building,” he remarks. As for the economic spin-offs; “it’s just unreal, one of the busiest years that we’ve had.”
