B.C. jobs minister announces funding for 4 business expansions
The B.C. government will grant $7.5 million to a Nelson wood manufacturing company to expand its North Shore facility, as announced by Minister Diana Gibson on April 23.
The expansion is expected to create about 60 jobs, doubling Spearhead's workforce, according to the company's owners.
Mercer Celgar will receive $1.75 million to modernize its equipment for processing smaller logs, as part of the B.C. Manufacturing Jobs Fund.
The B.C. Manufacturing Jobs Fund aims to create new manufacturing jobs in the forest sector, focusing on reducing raw log exports.
