Framing has been completed on the 200,000-square-foot window manufacturing plant being built in Eldon.
According to Missourinet, Missouri Department of Economic Development (DED) manager Michelle Hataway says Freeburg-based Quaker Window Products is expected to create 290 new full-time jobs in Eldon.
Hataway says the company is investing $63 million in the project, and expects hiring to begin in the spring.
About 1,100 of the 1,900 students in the Eldon School District qualify for free and reduced lunches, and Mayor Larry Henderson says he wants to create a community with good jobs where kids will stay.
