Officials See Industrial Park Creating Thousands of Local Jobs
Princeton officials say Virginian Industrial Park could employ at least 1,000, potentially many more as development proceeds. The park, at the Princeton railroad yard, may gain an access road funded at 850,000 with bids advertised by November. Construction could begin by spring and be finished by late 2002. Mercer County approved 10 million in mortgage revenue bonds to finance expansion for Tabor Machine and Norris Screen, with 140 jobs saved and 50 created. A crossing project costing 100,000 received 15,000 in city financing, and an historic district designation could qualify the site for tax credits to spur development.
