Commerce Secretary Greg Canfield announced on Monday, July 25 that O’Neal Manufacturing Services (OMS) plans to invest $5.5 million to open a 130,000-square-foot steel fabrication facility in Fayette as part of a project that will create 70 full-time jobs within three years after operations commence.
A successful job fair was held on Friday, March 18 at the Fayette Civic Center. Although the job fair was open for anyone seeking work, the employment event was primarily held to help the displaced Fayette Fabrication workers find new employment in a quick and timely manner.
Fayette Fabrication basically closed its operating facility on Monday, March 14 at approximately 3 p.m. At that time, the workers were told in a meeting that the plant would be ceasing operations, although a few employees are continuing to work for a few days to help permanently close the plant.
Fayette Fabrication, a major industrial employer in the City of Fayette, closed the facility as of March 14 at 3 p.m.
