CALDWELL COUNTY, N.C. — A waste equipment manufacturer is planning a new facility in Caldwell County, Gov. Bev Perdue announced Monday.
Bakers Waste Equipment Inc., which produces waste containers and compactors, plans to create 60 jobs and invest more than $2.9 million over the next three years in Lenoir.
