It was not one gift but two that was delivered to our area on Christmas Eve.
The first gift came with the news that Shop Vac on Reach Road had been purchased and the new owner GreatStar Tools USA hoped to rehire former employees who lost their jobs in mid-September after a failed sale of the company by its private owners.
That closure left about 430 people suddenly out of work from a manufacturing facility that had been “a leading employer in our area for generations,” in the words of County Commissioner Scott Metzger.
We agree with Metzger’s assessment that the announcement “is a major boost to our spirits and economy during these difficult times.”
