Manchester eyed as site for major new industry
A national form manufacturer aims to build a 1.3 million regional plant in New England and Manchester appears on a final three site list. The firm would hire about 50 initially, rising to roughly 200 in ten years, with a 50,000 square foot plant that could double in size. Location choices emphasize non union workforces and tax stabilization options, with Bennington and a rural setting also under consideration.
