The city’s largest employer, Henniges Automotive, is in the midst of a $25 million expansion. With a 40 year legacy in Frederick, the company employs 300 people and plans to add another 50. Ouellette emphasizes the significance of their commitment, noting that many generations of Frederick workers have been employed by Henniges. “They are investing in this facility because their main deal is our manufacturing facilities are,” expands Davis.“We have an excess of 300 acres available, and we are in the middle of doing a rehab on the electrical service. We have two big substations, one in town and one at the airport, and we’re fixing to do a major upgrade on that through this grant money. That way we can set ourselves up for an opportunity to bring in some kind of business.” 216 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 06, ISSUE 09
