LAKEVIEW
Highland Metals Distribution signed a three-year lease for a
former mill incubator building at the Lakeview Industrial Park.
According to Pamela Fisher with the Central Oregon
Intergovernmental Council, Highland will open a manufacturing
facility under the name Tanks LLC by the end of the year.
It has a $2.5 million contract to weld water tanks, she
says. Fisher organized a job fair in this town of 2,500 to find
potential employees for the manufacturing facility. Thirty-five
people applied for the dozen initial employee positions.
