RALEIGH – Gov. Bev Perdue today announced that North Cove Springs, a regional producer of bottled water from natural springs, will expand its production facility in McDowell County. The company will invest more than $6.3 million and create 138 jobs in Marion. The announcement was made possible in part by a $310,000 grant from the One North Carolina Fund.
North Cove Springs, of Marion, whose ownership includes Able Rebuilders LLC, a national tools remanufacturer headquartered in Florida, taps water from natural springs. North Cove bottles, markets and distributes the spring water and naturally flavored water beverages to regional and national retailers.
While salaries will vary by position, the project’s 138 new jobs will pay an average annual wage of $28,141, not including benefits. That is higher than the McDowell County annual average wage of $27,976.
