The project was supported by the North Carolina Department of Commerce, the Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina, Burke County and the c ity of Morganton.

“All Greenworks product coming into the U.S. will come through this distribution center,” said Ronnie Thompson, mayor of Morganton. “Landing this project highlights our excellent location, which provides good access to markets all throughout the Southeast.”

Greenworks Tools will receive a Job Development Investment Grant from the state, which requires the company’s average yearly wage to be $33,010. Morganton and Burke County officials are expected to consider local incentives on the agendas for both in January, said the BDI release.

“This project moved rapidly as the HHG building was on the market for less than 90 days,” said BDI President and CEO Alan Wood. “We appreciate Greenworks choosing our community and contributing to the continued diversity we see in the economy of Burke County. We’re happy to have the products that this company distributes being brought to Burke County.”
