PUEBLO, Colo. (KOAA) — More full time jobs are coming to Pueblo! Trussworks, a manufacturer that makes wood truss components, is bringing 65 new positions to the city.
Monday, the Pueblo Economic Development Corporation hosted a ceremony to welcome them into the community. Nearly $1.5 million from the city's half-cent sales tax was used to help bring Trussworks to Pueblo.
"Pueblo seems like a great place," said Travis Anderson, General Manager of Trussworks. "Like I said, they seem to have a great workforce that we can pull from. The weather's great. The city was very welcoming to us."
The company will be housed near the Pueblo Memorial Airport. They hope to be up and running in Pueblo before the end of the year.
