Jones III CEO 1954 More than a month after Sutton voters approved a 15-year tax increment financing agreement for a new facility, Worcester metal manufacturer Primetals in March made their move to the town offi - cial. The facility at 85 Gilmore Drive off of Route 146 will house the company's steel mill equipment manufacturing; research and development; engineering and sales operations. The company currently oper - ates two facilities in Worcester: one at 40 Crescent St. and anoth- er at 50 Prescott St. in Gateway Park. Both facilities will close and consolidate under one roof in Sutton. Construction at the vacant 38-acre site is expected to begin in June and be completed by summer 2019. According to property records, the owner is listed as Sutton Outlook Ventures LLC, but records also show the town foreclosed on the property last month due to unpaid taxes. "After two years of research, analysis and deliberation, we have come to realize that while our facility at Crescent Street has served us well for the last 100 years, it will not carry us for the next 100," said Michael Eldredge, vice president of the company's mini mills and long rolling division. The new 183,000-square-foot facility represents the first oppor - tunities for employees to work together at one location, Primetals said in a press release announc- ing the new facility. About 275 employees will work at the facility, Primetals said. Eldredge told the Sutton Board of Selectmen in January the facili - ty would represent a $28-million investment. The TIF includes a 67-percent tax reduction to see a total of $826,755 in revenue to the town over the 15-year agreement.
