J.E. Ekornes USA, Inc. received a $500,000 grant to support the expansion of its facility on Wamsutta Mill Road in Morganton. The expansion is projected to create 102 new jobs with 80 tied to the building reuse grant. “This is a great project and we’re excited to announce it,” said Jeff Brittain, Chairman of the Burke County Commissioners. “Not only are the new jobs important but solidifying the existing jobs was key to this project. We hope this means J.E. Ekornes will be in Burke County for a long time to come.”
