RG Smith and new-technology employer expansions cited, about 70 new jobs reported
Summary
Presenters said a new-technology project and RG Smith in Downtown Mansfield are expanding capacity; the chamber noted about 70 new jobs from one project and capacity growth at RG Smith.
Presenters highlighted local company growth as a key success in the county's economic development efforts.
A chamber presenter said a new-technology project has brought roughly 70 new jobs and capital investment, including land acquisition and infrastructure work. "So 70 new jobs, lots of, new CapEx," the presenter noted. The presenter added that the company will add square footage and machinery to access new markets.
The presenter also described RG Smith, a union metal fabrication shop on 6th Street in Downtown Mansfield, which is expanding capacity and building out additional space to increase production of larger metal components. County and chamber staff said these expansions demonstrate the pipeline of local industrial growth they are cultivating.
No county incentives or approvals for these specific projects were recorded during the meeting; presenters said some pipeline projects may later require annexation or additional approvals.
