joint announcement was made by Gov. Joe Manchin and James D. Irving,
chairman and president of J.D. Irving Limited (JDI).The new division, scheduled to open in October of this year, represents a $20 million initial investment. The JDI Equipment Division will create 15 new jobs initially and a total of 50 within 12-24 months. The new positions include crane operators, mechanics and engineers. “I met with Mr. Irving, visited their operations in New Brunswick, and shared with them the benefits of doing business in West Virginia,” the governor said. “They felt confident that our workforce, our location and our business climate will be a success. As a result of these efforts, we are glad to announce that J. D. Irving, Limited, a company with diverse business interests worldwide, chose to locate its first U.S. Equipment Division in West Virginia.” “This is a great and very environmentally responsible company that sets the standard for stewardship of its natural resources. The opening of this division is the beginning of what we confidently expect will be a long and a mutually beneficial partnership.” “J.D. Irving, Limited and West Virginia share similar interests and values,” said Irving. “We are driven by fundamental values such as quality, service, innovation and the responsibility to make a positive difference in the communities where we work and live. We see the potential for future endeavors and investment in West Virginia and appreciate the personal interest and effort of the Governor in welcoming new business to the State.” |
