Belleville is hopeful over 200-jobs could be coming to the city. Mayor Neil Ellis tells our newsroom the city is in confidential talks with a food manufacturer but stopped short of identifying the company. He says officials have been in and out of the city over the last couple months asking questions. The Mayor also says an existing city company may add a second plant in the near future. The Mayor made no mention of the possible good financial news at this morning’s annual Mayor and Council address to the Chamber of Commerce at Ramada Inn. The Mayor and Councillors Taso Christopher, Tom Lafferty and Garnett Thompson addressed the crowd.
