The General Electric plant on Main Street could be at the beginning of a new wave of prosperity fueled by demand for smart grid technology.
The company employs 378 people, which is up from the 220 people it employed there in February 2008, and has three shifts to produce its new line of electronic meters.
Steve Richards, general manager of meters, GE energy, transmission and distribution in Atlanta, Ga., said the company is rolling out more electronic meters that will allow homeowners and businesses to save on energy costs.
