Washington County Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Ted
Everett announced today that ECO Lifestyle Homes, Inc. of
Yorkville, Illinois has affirmed their intention to locate a new
assembly plant in Chipley.
Robin Webb, president of ECO Lifestyle Homes, has confirmed
that the intention is to have the facility open and operational
by fall of 2008 and that when up to full production capacity,
projected over the next two years, the plant will employ around
400 workers. Within four years that number could double, with
the majority of jobs involving light assembly, but with some
need for more skilled positions in the architectural design and
building fields.
