Aspenware Delay

A manufacturing plant that should employ up to 100 people in Dryden has one more major hurdle to clear before construction can begin.
Aspenware President Terry Bigsby says the company is waiting for provincial government funding approvals before it can announce a construction start.
Bigsby says the company has applied for government loan guarantees and is negotiating with First Nations in Northwestern Ontario for fibre supply.
The B.C. based company announced last Fall that it would build a manufacturing plant in Dryden to produce biodegradable, durable wooden cutlery.
Mayor Anne Krassilowsky says the issue has been raised with Minister Michael Gravelle.
She says funding applications have been handed over and she is anticipating a positive and successful ending.
