JOE PURCHASES GRANVILLE CHEMICAL PLANT


This wealthy outsider has already put his money to good use. Yesterday afternoon, Joe closed on the purchase of the Chemical plant, resulting in an expansion to save hundreds from unemployment. Rumors had been spreading prior to the actual sale, but yesterday, reports were made a reality. As the Gazette had previously reported, the plant was undergoing major pay cuts, causing severe distress for all employees and their families. Following the purchase, Joe said in a statement, “We hope with a complete renovation of the plant, we can restore the job stability at the plant in Granville…” He went on to discuss the new creation of natural gas processing, as well as an exclusive polymer to be only manufactured in a few plants, one of them being Granville’s. We spoke to Tom Norsk, a long time plant supervisor. “It’s a great relief, not just for me, but for my wife as well. We knew layoffs were in the near future. We love this town for its security and we worried we might lose that. I feel so grateful to Joe for what he’s done.” And Norsk isn’t the only one. There’s a cheeriness surrounding our town and it seems we know exactly who to thank.
