VAN WERT - Cindy Leis has spent almost four months as Van Wert County’s economic development director, and in that short amount of time she has been able to see a lot of good news.

“The best news is that our companies are hiring,” she stated. “They may not be hiring as many people as we want, and maybe they’re not all the high-tech jobs we’re looking for, but Braun Industries had 20 job openings and most of those were high-tech engineering positions. Or you look at Elmco Engineering or Alliance Automation — these are pretty high-tech engineering positions. They may not be the big numbers like 50 jobs, they are more like 10. However, those 10 are pretty high-paying jobs.”

DELPHOS — Westrich Home Furnishings is expanding its storeroom capacity by 14,500 square feet, which has created economic growth in the form of job creation.

Owner Jack Westrich said with the new addition, the company will have more than 150,000 square feet of space, which will be utilized for merchandise storage. Future endeavors may include expanding the showrooms.

Construction of the two-story warehouse has progressed quickly. Last week, crews placed metal siding on the north side of the building and this week, they have been finishing the concrete floors.
