Construction is progressing on a new 65,000 square foot (Phase I and II)
manufacturing facility in Oglesby, IL. Wire Mesh Corporation, a Mexico
City based manufacturer of welded wire fabric used in the production of
concrete slabs, plans to initially employ 20. When all phases have been
completed, an additional 80 jobs will be provided. Location, electric rates,
enterprise zone benefits, and tax increment financing played a major role in the
decision to locate in Oglesby. |
