NC rural infrastructure authority grants $75K for Snow Hill project to create additional 17 jobs in Greene County

Snow Hill NC, April 15, 2021 — The NC Rural Infrastructure Authority announced today that Building Envelope  Erection Services, Inc., fabricator and deliverer of project specific aluminum framing used in the construction of mid  size commercial buildings, will receive a grant from the state’s Building Reuse Program. Earlier today, the NC Rural  Infrastructure Authority approved Greene County’s request for $75,000 in funds to support the building reuse of  Building Envelope Erection Services, Inc. Snow Hill, NC manufacturing facility.  

Building Envelope Erection Services, Inc., is expanding current operations at their Snow Hill site to facilitate growth  projections anticipated by the expanding North Carolina and broader Mid Atlantic commercial real estate market.  This hiring of new positions and creating new jobs is also contributing to the growth of the local Greene County  economy. This is an investment to meet the growing demand in the Aluminum framing market, including the  increased demand driven by the COVID-19 pandemic. The project brings a capital investment of more than $1.2 million over the next five(5) years to Greene County and is expected to create more than 17 additional jobs at that  site.  

“This is exciting news for the people of Greene County. This new investment and additional jobs will be a big boost  to the local economy and help bring stronger economic growth to the entire region. I want to thank and congratulate  everyone involved for their hard work in helping make it happen.” said House Majority Leader, John Bell. 

Will Brown, Sr. Director, Operations at Snow Hill added, “I’m so proud of our Greene County team and the role we  play in significantly contributing to the growth of our business and adding jobs and investment to eastern NC. We  look forward to being able to support our local community with more job opportunities as a result of this expansion,  and are excited that this grant will help support a continued bright future for Greene County.” 

Bennie Heath, Chairman Greene County Commissioners, “It is indeed an honor and a please to announce a building  re-use expansion project in Greene County. For over a year we have been adversely affected by the CORONAVIRUS  pandemic. Everyone has been affected. Many small businesses have suffered losses. Negative impacts have been  felt by indivduals, EMS providers, local, state and federal governments, and so on. I do not want to leave anyone  out because we all have felt the effects of the pandemic. 

Here we are today announcing that one of our Greene County businesses is investing 1.2 million dollars and adding  17 new employees. I thank all involved in the process – from the business owners, to the economic developers, to  the North Carolina Department of Commerce and to all the others who may have had a positive impact on this  project. There are so many pieces to the puzzle to make this a reality. 

Again, it’s an honor and a pleasure to make this announcement and recognize such a major accomplishment in the  face of adversity. May God continue to richly bless Greene County, North Carolina and the United States of America.” 

Harold Thomas, NCGTPEDR Vice President, “Greene County is very happy and proud that BEES has chosen to grow  their business in our county. They produce high quality products that are used in making building facades beautiful  and functional in many cities in the mid Atlantic region.”
