IdahoBusinessReview reports Mesa, Arizona-based Greenstar Building Systems has purchased a building in Weiser, Idaho to make modular housing for workers at oil and mining camps. The 67,000 square-foot building was previously owned by Champion Homes, which consolidated its work force into another building during the housing turndown. Greenstar anticipates hiring over 75 production workers, including carpenters, painters, electricians, plumbers and assemblers, likely drawing on former Champion employees. In addition to producing modular homes for work camps in Texas, North Dakota, Montana, Nevada and Canada, the company also provides septic, utility, power, security and food services at the work sites. MHProNews has learned hiring will begin by mid-October. The facility will also include a sales force.
