Virginia lands expansion of PGI facility

The Virginia Economic Development Partnership, working with Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell, put together a package of incentives to convince Polymer Group Inc. (PGI) to expand its manufacturing facility in Waynesboro, Va. The strategy succeeded, and PGI will expand nonwoven fabric production with a new manufacturing line, high-tech equipment, increased production targets and facility improvements. The move will create 41 new jobs, with the Virginia Jobs Investment Program providing training assistance.
