Rep. Jones Visits IMPulse
IMPulse NC LLC in Mount Olive, NC, told its story of transit manufacturing and the importance of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) when it welcomed Rep. Walter B. Jones (R-NC) to a site tour Aug. 4.
Joining Jones were Mount Olive Mayor Ray McDonald, Mount Olive Town Manager Charles Brown, and representatives from Triangle Spring and the Marmon Group. IMPulse shares its transit overhead catenary manufacturing facility with Triangle Spring, a sister company under the Marmon Group/Berkshire Hathaway companies that manufactures heavy duty truck suspensions and springs.
IMPulse noted the benefit it received from projects covered by ARRA funding, which not only allowed the company to retain jobs, but also played a key role for a large nationwide sub-supplier chain.
Jones expressed an interest in public transportation business through this conversation. He said jobs are a key focus in Congress and called transit the backbone toward improving the economy and growing great U.S. job opportunities.
