Mayor Speaks With Pictou County Michelin Employees

A group of employees at Michelin in Pictou County were in town Tuesday for a visit. Roughly 15 people visited the Bridgewater facility for a tour. Municipality of Lunenburg Mayor Don Downe met and spoke with the people on behalf of mayors and wardens in Lunenburg and Queens counties. He says it's all about making a good first impression.



Downe says most of the people asked questions about what the area can offer their families, schooling and recreational opportunities. A different group of Michelin workers visited the Bridgewater plant last week and Downe expects more to come. Two hundred employees will be out of job in Pictou County as of July 1st, while another 300 people will get their walking papers by July 2015.
