Stafford woolen fabrics producer gets govt help

“With cheap fabrics pouring in from overseas, it is critical that we support U.S. companies as they compete on a global stage,” said Congressman Courtney. “This grant program supports ‘Made-in-America’ jobs, and provides incentives to companies like the Warren Corporation who do things the right way and continue to grow jobs at home, even as they compete against stiff competition and cheap labor abroad. Having visited Warren numerous times over the past six years, I have great admiration for the work the men and women there do, and I know the positive impact this funding will have.”
