Mandreil will also have other direct, economie benefits to the town. Saegert says that many of the jobs that will be created will be offered to local people. "The only people who won't be local will be the field testing crews," he says. "We wiIl definitely be recruiting some people Iocally. " However, he doesn't know at this stage how many jobs will be available. When completed, the plant will be able to manufacture as many as 10 of the machines a year. If the company receives more than 10 orders, it will have to look at expanding the current site or construe- ting another facility. Saegert noted that the whitby facility represents a $2.6 million investment in the corn- munity by Mandreil. He first noticed the structure while passing through Whitby on his way to Toronto froin Cornwall. "This building can be completed faster than we could build from the ground up anywhere else. " Saegert also had many words of praise for the Town of Whitby and Jeanette Babington, its director of marketing. "Whitby seemns to be welcoming us with open arms," he said, "The more we found out about Whitby, the more cer- tain and more sensible the decision became. " .Mayor Bob Attersley said the property already has the ap- propriate zoning requirernents and con- struction can begin as soon as the company's specific drawings on the building are approved. Saegert also claimed that Whitby will now have -a unique- position in Canada's mining in- dustry. "There is no other machine in the industry that can do7 what our machine will have to do," he said adding, "but we stili have to prove it.
