A painting and sandblasting company is buying six acres from Kilgore Economic Development Corporation and relocating here.
KEDC agreed this week to sell six acres to Louis Hall, owner of H&W Industrial Services in Longview. The real estate is in North Kilgore Industrial Park. Hall expects to move his company here by the end of summer. The firm will move from the gum, Valley area in western Harrison County.
H&W employs 20 people. The firm sandblasts and paints oil, gas and water industrial equipment.
Hall told a Longview newspaper "We're moving for location purposes. It's going to be closer for my employees, and it's going to offer us more available land for future expansion."
