Mayor Keith Hobbs stated in his address to the city on Monday evening that Thunder Bay is very close to landing a large manufacturing facility. The mayor went on to state the hundreds of jobs will be created locally and that an announcement, if not imminent, will come very soon. He did not elaborate on what the facility will build, or who the proponent is.

I will personally not get too excited until something is actually announced (I have heard this sort of stuff from the city before). I would assume it must be pretty well a done deal if true, or the mayor would not be able to make such a statement publicly.
