Finally a modular home company is planning to open a factory in New Jersey. Renewable Jersey,
LLC is preparing to convert a former Hunt’s Tomato plant in Bridgeton into a
plant that is reported to embrace green and energy efficient construction.
No news yet if it will be building on an assembly line or on
cribbing but either way it is good news for Jersey-ites. 128 new jobs are proposed to be added the
first year.
Their factory will use three of the four warehouses for
assembly, training and storage with the fourth being demolished. Using the word “assembly” instead of either
produced or manufactured leads me to believe that this will be a boutique
factory rather than a production line facility.
If this is a production line plant, it could take up to a year to get it
on line. If it is a cribbing plant….maybe
next Thursday!
As part of the incentive, they were given preliminary
approval for a $10 million tax-exempt bond to develop the plant.
There is no website for Renewable Jersey LLC or other info
available yet but we will stay on this and keep you informed as to its
progress.
It really doesn’t matter how they build a home, the most
important thing is that New Jersey
is about ready to open their first modular home factory. Good news.
