Two Wayne County companies – Vandor Group and Dot Transportation – recently announced expansions with help from an Economic Development Income Tax (EDIT) grant from the EDC of Wayne County.

Vandor is investing in its Reel Options and Funeral Products divisions. Reel Options is adding a new product line into an existing 41,625 SF third Richmond plant on Progress Drive. Vandor Funeral Products is adding 17,750 SF onto its Rich Road facility. The two projects plan for a combined investment total of $2.8M by the end of 2022 and the creation of 28 new full-time jobs over the next three years.

Dot Transportation, Inc. (DTI), a division of Dot Foods, Inc., will receive an Economic Development Income Tax (EDIT) Grant totaling $86,000 to assist with their semi-truck driver training program called Earn to Learn. Dot began work on the office expansion this month with a target completion date of March, 2023. Work on the gate station also began this month with a target completion date of October, 2022.
