Our area’s economy got a boost last week when a local company announced plans for a multi-million dollar expansion.
Bully Tools, which has called the Jefferson County Industrial Park home for the last 25 years, said on Jan. 5 it planned to make a $6.7 million investment that would include a 60,000-square-foot expansion, a project that officials estimate will create 30 new jobs.
It’s growth that is needed to meet the demand for the firm’s line of tools. That catalog includes lawn and garden, farm, snow removal, home and other specialty long-handled tools.
According to Mark Gracy, the company’s owner, Bully has seen double-digit sales growth that has averaged 14.5 percent during the past nine years.
