This Golden LEAF grant will provide funding to the Town of Wilkesboro to construct water infrastructure that will serve InterFlex North America, a manufacturer of packaging for food products. InterFlex is expanding its production facility in Wilkes County and needs improved water supply for new manufacturing lines. The InterFlex expansion will create 63 new jobs that will pay an average annual wage of $37,854, plus benefits, compared to a County average wage of $31,512. Another company, PSG Custom Fabricators, LLC, will also be served by the water lines and will expand its production capabilities resulting in the creation of an additional 38 jobs. The total cost of the project is approximately $5.8 million.
