New Wood Pellett Co Moves into VT

Governor Jim Douglas calls it exciting: a new employer in these tough economic times. The new employer is Vermont Wood Pellet Company and WCAX TV reports that it turns wood into pressed pellets for fuel. The plant will hire 15 employees, which officials say will help Rutland County's struggling economy. The company said it picked Vermont over other states because of the deal it got on its energy for the first five years the company is open in Clarendon. Vermont Wood Pellet can put out abut ten thousand tons of pellets a year and that's enough to heat at least 3,300 homes.
