WOONSOCKET, RI — RESH, Inc., a Massachusetts-based metal manufacturing business, has agreed to move its operations from Franklin, MA to Woonsocket, Woonsocket Mayor Lisa Baldell-Hunt announced. Mayor Baldelli-Hunt announced the deal has been reached in principal for the company to purchase 6.1 acres owned by First Mendon Corp. to construct a new 65,000 square foot office and manufacturing facility on Park East Drive near the entrance to Highland Corporate Park. Mayor Baldelli-Hunt said the deal is contingent upon the City Council's approval of a tax-stabilization agreement. "Woonsocket is a great city with a rich history in manufacturing," Scott Langley, President of RESH said. "I am excited with the opportunity to grow my company in Woonsocket. We have been impressed by the responsiveness of the city and the Economic Development Foundation of Rhode Island, Inc. to manage the site planning and permitting tasks that have made this relocation possible." RESH hopes to be under construction by August of this year, and to commence operations in Woonsocket by August of 2021.
