The MP for Bruce Grey Owen Sound calls it a great shot in the arm for our economy.
As we first told you this morning — GRS Wood Products of China is purchasing the former Durham Furniture plant in Chesley.
Conservative MP Larry Miller tells Bayshore Broadcasting News it’s the best news he has heard in a very long time.
Miller says we need the jobs — no matter where the company is from.
GRS Wood Products is working with Miller’s government to get Visas for 20 workers from China and they will help train the first 50 workers.
Arran Elderslie Mayor Paul Eagleson says the company will eventually employ 300 people in Chesley.
Miller is not concerned a Chinese company has bought the old Durham Furniture plant, which has been empty since 2008.
The Tory MP feels we need more foreign investment in Canada — and he notes many Canadian business people invest in companies around the World.
GRS Wood Products has two big wood manufacturing plants in China employing about 500 workers, and has a 44 thousand square foot warehouse in Toronto offering over 150 different flooring products.
