Omnis Building Technologies eyeing Bluefield plant jobs
Mathew Hart of Omnis Building Technologies says a new plant near Exit 1 on I-77 could start hiring in early 2023. Gov. Jim Justice helped break ground in March on a $40 million facility near Bluefield’s transit hub, aiming to provide affordable housing at half the cost of traditional methods. Hart, a former Gabe’s HR VP, describes the company’s rapid housing approach as addressing affordability and supply-chain issues while creating jobs.
