Omaha reports Rod Tompkins, who operates Heritage Homes in Wayne, Nebraska, in the northeast part of the state, says business is picking up and he plans to add 16 production workers to the current roster of 64. The maker of custom modular homes and apartments says the biggest demand is coming from the oil fields of North Dakota, but he also serves rural areas of Missouri, Iowa, and Kansas where the economy is more robust than other parts of the country. Tompkins says, “We’ll probably double our production here in the next year, and then we may try to grow it some more in 2013.” Manta, which provides company profiles and market research online, estimates Heritage has annual revenue of $11,800,000.
