Officials say
Vermont Castings wood stove maker and metal fabricator New England Precision
are expected to add up to 88 jobs in Bethel and Randolph in the next several years.

around for at least another winter. Kentucky-based Monessen Hearth Systems

protection in April.
The
sudden closing of a Randolph water bottling facility has thrown dozens of people
out of work and sent the state scrambling to help them.
