Electronic Recyclers International (ERI), the first tenant in the Badin Business Park, drew quite a crowd for its first job fair on Saturday. More than 750 people turned out, hoping for a chance to work at the new electronic recycling facility located at the site of Alcoa's former aluminum plant. ERI will hire 20-30 people this summer and employ 150 people by the end of next year.
People started lining up at 6 am, and the line stretched around the Badin fire department and down the street by mid-morning. That demonstrates just how much the community needs new jobs. Alcoa is engaged in ongoing discussions with additional companies about moving to Badin Business Park and will continue efforts to recruit new jobs to Stanly County.
