2009 certainly could have been a better year on the local industrial scene in Quinte, but hope springs eternal.
Despite losing some manufacturing plants, the C.E.O. of the Quinte Economic Development Commission, Chris King, says they and Loyalist College, are working hard to keep existing industry here.
Chris King says there are several companies looking at the Quinte region for next year, and beyond, and he expects at least some of the empty factories to become active again.
