TRENTON — When Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering comes calling, that’s huge.
And when the world’s second-largest shipbuilder opts to make wind turbines and blades at a defunct railcar manufacturing plant in Trenton, there are huge sighs of relief in the town.
“It is absolutely the best news we’ve had in this place for a long, long time,” one woman said outside Cornish’s Variety and Bakery, which overlooks the former TrentonWorks plant and a Nova Scotia Power generating station.
“It means my son can come back home with the grandkids from out west.”
“There’s going to be one big party,” she laughed.
Most residents of the Pictou County town probably had a similar reaction to the news that DSME will be establishing a wind turbine manufacturing operation at the TrentonWorks location.
