Mayor highlights annexed Caterpillar site as priority for job growth
Summary
The mayor said the village prioritized finding forward-looking businesses and new owners for the former Caterpillar site now annexed into Montgomery, aiming to preserve and create manufacturing jobs the town historically hosted.
The mayor said a major recent local accomplishment was annexing the former Caterpillar site and actively seeking new tenants and owners for that property to restore and create jobs. "Finding new, forward thinking businesses that can move in ... provide the jobs that our community had and historically has had for the last hundred plus years," he said.
He described local efforts to encourage investment and business mergers with existing firms to both retain jobs and build opportunities for the next generation of Montgomery residents. The mayor framed the site work as central to the village's economic strategy but did not provide specific timelines or incentive packages.
