On this Black Friday, it’s good to know that jobs are still coming to our state.  Gov. Bev Perdue announced this week that Baldor Electric Company, a global marketer, designer and manufacturer of industrial electric motors, mechanical transmission products, drives and generators, will expand its facility in Mc Dowell County.  Baldor Electric plans to create 41 new jobs and invest $17.7 million during the next three years in Marion.  Also, the Governor announced that Sonoco Plastics Inc., a global provider of consumer packaging, industrial products, protective packaging and packaging supply chain services, will expand operations at its packaging facility in Waynesville. This expansion will create 35 jobs and result in an $11.7 million investment over the next three years.  And, Henniges Automotive will add new manufacturing jobs at its plant in Reidsville. The expansion will bring 64 new jobs along with a $2.2 million capital investment.  All these jobs were made possible in part by grants from the One North Carolina Fund.  North Carolina continues to have a top-ranked business climate. According to the Governor’s Office, through the use of the One North Carolina Fund, more than 55,000 jobs and $11 billion in investments have been created since 2001.
