State loan to Vogel Popcorn Co. plant sparks displeasure
Hamburg officials approve a 236000 low interest loan for Vogel Popcorn Co. to build a 25500 square foot microwave plant, a project worth 1560000 dollars. Company president Art Vogel criticizes the loan as insufficient versus a grant while Hamburg prepares utilities and expects employment to rise to 165 workers.
