Expansion At Fitchburg Appliance Plant Could Mean 222 New Jobs

The Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation says a 70-million dollar expansion project at Sub-Zero Group appliances in Fitchburg will create 100 new jobs.  The company makes refrigeration, cooking and dishwashing appliances.  An economic study suggests the 350-thousand-square-foot addition could indirectly generate another 122 jobs for the region.  That would mean two-point-eight-million dollars in new state income tax revenue over five years.  Sub-Zero will receive one-million in state income tax credits over the next four years.
