What a great fit for Port Angeles! Half the potential labor force already has the Duck Dynasty(tm) beard ready to go! The other half, I can hear those hairs growin' as I type! Whoo hooo!
I wonder if that plant will still be operating here in five years.
Not likely unless they sell some boats BBC
I'm thinking of selling my boat. Anyone interested in buying a 1500 dollar boat with a nice four cycle motor on it that is worth all of that?
Which will close first, Nippon or Westport?
My best guess is that Westport will close first.
I heard Nippon was planning to sell to a water bottling company. At least there would be a few jobs with a new business...
Westport LLC, asset buy not a stock buy??? I wonder what the story behind that is?
I'll bet there is some sort of giant tax liability out there.
Looks like the city is hiring a new clerk to replace Janessa Hurd... http://www.cityofpa.us/humanresourcesOpen.htm
"Pierce also alleged that City Clerk Janessa Hurd once served as a “safety net” for her around Collins but became “disrespectful and belittling” after Pierce's job title at the city was changed from executive communications coordinator to executive administrative assistant and deputy city clerk in August."
I hope so. What an airhead Janessa is!
