This certainly is good news, Keith.
Unemployment rates in the Highlands have been above the state average.
And just within the last month, companies have laid off close to 300-people there.
So the opportunity to announce new jobs are coming to town is an opportunity economic developers took full advantage of.

There is also a hint of revenge in the air, atleast from the fans. Last season, the Express had a lead in their playoff series with hampton, but some post game head butting and shouting from Admirals coach John Brophy resulted in a momentum shift that, some say, cost the Express a Kelly Cup. The Admirals went on to with the ECHL championship. About an hour ago, we asked John Brophy and Express defenseman Duiane Harmer about that contriversy.
