Industries Favored for New Locations at Chamber Meeting
At the monthly Chamber of Commerce session two of three industries seeking new sites were discussed with White Wednesdayville as a possibility. One firm, operating since 1920, needs a 100 by 112 foot building plus boiler room as space is tight for 50 to 150 workers. A second manufacturing company plans a move to larger quarters. Committees visited sites and reported favorable prospects, with follow up visits planned. Other topics included Grand Avenue extension and street openings, with city and school district funding for widening and curves to be considered after July meetings.
