Johnston County Industrial Authority Helps Local Company Expand
In the Johnston County Industrial Park, the grinding and clanking of metal is accompanied by the
roaring of welding and fabricating machines, reminding people in the area that opportunities exist. TapeMatics, Inc., a metal fabricating company, is one of several businesses occupying facilities constructed by the Johnston County Industrial Authority. The Authority secured financing to construct the facilities through USDA Rural Development. TapeMatics, Inc. exhibits the resilience of hard-working Oklahomans, considering that only a few years ago a tornado took aim at their facility, scattering hopes and dreams in the process. Instead of becoming a victim of the unfortunate circumstances, the company rebuilt and expanded its product line to include trailer manufacturing. Now they provide 20 of the jobs in the industrial park and plan to further expand into a new facility which will be constructed with a $399,999 RBEG made possible through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009; a move that will allow them to create 15 additional jobs. The partnership Rural Development shares with organizations such as the Johnston County Industrial Authority helps to create great places to live and raise families.
