Navy contract to boost Cedar Bluff plant jobs
A $10.1 million Navy contract will revive about 60 jobs at Ingersoll Rand Mining Machinery Group in Cedar Bluff Va enabling production of 232 aircraft tow tractors. Production start is not expected for at least a year as drafting and design work is completed and approved by the Navy, with full project completion targeted by 1989. The deal supports economic diversification from coal and aids districts hit by layoffs.
