Aiken Wins Venture Park Site For Industrial Expansion
MBH Chairman Dan McGregor says the Ventures Industrial Park in Aiken offers the right mix of size and quality of life to secure the expansion over other South Carolina cities. The site already has buildings and infrastructure, is near I 20, and close to an existing customer base including Electrolux Home Products. Jim McGregor notes freight costs and shifting customer bases pushed the move south.

Jackson prosecutors call mother of boy in Jackson settlement case
In Santa Maria California the mother of a boy who received millions in a Jackson settlement testified that in 1993 Michael Jackson urged her to let the boy sleep in his room during visits to Neverland Las Vegas and Europe. She described gifts and trips and said Jackson later pressed her to trust him. The mother confirmed the boy was part of a prior lawsuit and received compensation, though she would not disclose the amount. The defense suggested extortion but she denied it and said the boy and mother have not spoken in 11 years. Prosecutors aim to link past behavior to current molestation allegations as they prepare to call the accuser’s mother.
