NJ.com says the city of Bridgeton, New Jersey will be the site of the state’s first and only green modular home manufacturing plant. Located in the southwestern part of the state and known for its industrial base, Renewable Jersey, LLC will utilize three of the four warehouses, originally used by Hunt’s Tomato, for assembly, training, and storage. The fourth building will be torn down and replaced with office space. Leslie A. Anderson, executive director of the New Jersey Redevelopment Authority (NJRA), which is giving a bond to the project, says, “ The project, which is located in Bridgeton’s Urban Enterprise Zone, the Federal Empowerment Zone and the Enterprise Community and Renewable Community, will have numerous benefits for the community.” MHProNews has learned the facility is expected to create 128 full-time jobs within the first year.
