Heddle Shipyards in St. Catharines is set to grow its Vessel Life Extension division thanks to fresh government funding.
With a $107 million investment from Heddle, the company will undertake projects at its Port Weller Dry Docks, complemented by a $3.4 million contribution from the Ontario government through the Advanced Manufacturing and Innovation Competitiveness stream of its Regional Development Program.
The expansion initiative is poised to bring 30 new jobs to the region.
