Smooth on Daytimers hearing tonight 7pm
Tonight is the Zoning Hearing for Smooth-On and I encourage residents to attend.
Smooth-on is a company seeking approval to move into the now vacant Daytimers building. They seek no tax gimmicks, no public funding or special zoning changes. By moving into an existing empty building they help to preserve open space and farmland and utilize existing infrastructure. (Smart growth!) The company will bring over 150 high paying jobs and would like to hire many former Daytimers employees who lost their jobs when the company relocated.
Yes, with any large manufacturing facility there are concerns. But after 2 meetings with company officials I feel confident they will be addressed tonight.
This is residents best chance to have their concerns heard by the twp and smooth on.
