There is a need for a new building to use in economic development recruiting in Junction City.

Camso Manufacturing USA LLC took the building that was available to market, explained Mayor Pat Landes. “So we have land but most companies want an existing building to do something with, so they’re ( EDC ) kind of looking around now to try to get the investor group to build a building. And there are some other opportunities regarding a rail line here, we’ll kind of see what happens with that.”

Landes updated the Junction City Commission on the need for a new building this past week.

Camso was welcomed to the community after announcing that they would invest $36.4 million in leasing, renovating and equipping a 139,000 square foot manufacturing facility in the I-70 Industrial Park, and will create 40 new jobs.
