Sallisaw Job Fair Held

A job fair for those in the building trades was held Tuesday from 10 a.m. to noon.  It was held at the Sallisaw Civic Center located at 111 N. Elm.

Jobs were being offered by the contractors building Sallisaw's new middle school.  The $15.8 million school will open in August 2015, according to school superintendent Scott Farmer.

Jobs were for general labor, dry wall electric, plumbing, painters, masons, heating and air condition- ing, etc. and every contractor needs workers, Farmer said.

"This will be a good transition for employment," Farmer said.  "We are hoping to create permanent jobs here."

Farmer said he would also like to thank Armstrong Bank for providing refreshments.
