Province invests $2 million into Southland Trailer expansion in Lethbridge
LETHBRIDGE COUNTY, AB – A local manufacturing business is growing.
Officials with the Government of Alberta joined employees of Southland Trailer Corp. in Lethbridge to announce $2.06 million in funding for Southland’s expansion.
Invest Alberta CEO Rick Christiaanse says Southland is the first recipient of funding from the rural stream of the Investment and Growth Fund. Although the company is located along the edge of Lethbridge’s industrial park, it is part of Lethbridge County.
He explains that there were a few things that Invest Alberta and the provincial government liked about the company.
