As we enter 2012, the top topic both nationally and in Fallon continues to be our local economy. At the City of Fallon, economic development has taken a front seat and we are proud to announce several successes from 2011 that will provide jobs and invigorate the local economy in 2012.
As you may have seen, the City of Fallon recently entered into an agreement to bring an $85 million Dairy Farmers of America facility to Fallon, adding dozens of permanent jobs in Fallon while also employing construction workers and supporting dairy farmers throughout the region.
Metal joist manufacturer New Millennium Building Systems also recently re-opened a facility in Fallon that is now employing 58 workers, a number that could triple if the plant expands to full capacity.
Meanwhile, the City of Fallon continues to support our existing local businesses with a full calendar of community events, like the sold-out Tractors and Truffles event that highlights Fallon’s world-class agriculture and the Sierra Youth Football League Experience that brings more than 12,000 visitors to town each year.
The City of Fallon continues to be a wonderful place to live and do business. We are blessed to have new businesses opening their doors in town, and a stable base of long-time Fallon companies that continue to contribute to our local economy and community.
In 2012, the City of Fallon will remain focused on efforts that build the economic health of our local community.
