Member for
Barker, Tony Pasin MP, has welcomed the Thomas Foods International announcement
today hailing it a great success story for the company and the Murraylands
region.
The company
has announced it would rebuild in Murray Bridge at a new site, creating around
2000 jobs for the local region.
The Federal
Budget handed down in April, included $7 million to assist in road and
utilities infrastructure at the new Murray Bridge site.
“All levels of
Government have worked together over the past 18 months to assist the company
in getting to this point, culminating in the announcement today that they will
be re-building in Murray Bridge,” Mr Pasin said.
“Today’s
announcement is a great result for the local economy and the fabric of
community in the Murraylands,” Mr Pasin said.
