Edsal: Gary Lands Hundreds of Jobs

A Chicago-based industrial furniture manufacturer is bringing hundreds of jobs to Gary. Edsal plans to hire around 300 workers and hopes to begin production in Lake County as early as next month. Gary leaders say the city beat out locations in Tennessee, Illinois, Pennsylvania and China for the expansion. Gary Economic Development Corp. Executive Director Bo Kemp says the city's location, transportation assets and available work force helped attract Edsal.
