Northern Cables, a Brockville-based company that manufactures copper, aluminum and low voltage cables for industrial, mining and commercial use, has received $820,000 from the ministry of economic development and growth to expand its Brockville facilities by 30,000ft 2 and to allow for investment in new equipment to manufacture aluminum products at its Prescott facility. Shelley Bacon, the company’s CEO and founder, reported: “We already started our site plan work a couple of weeks ago, so we anticipate being able to start the foundation for the addition in the next few days. We’re just waiting on a building permit.” The project has a total value of $8.2 million and is expected to be completed in 2020. The development will include an outdoor storage dome, to keep millions of yards of cable safe from the elements. “This project will help Northern Cables increase productivity, stay competitive and create good paying jobs in the province.”
