Nearly $6 million will be spent on a new metal processing and export facility at the saleyards site, and $1.4 million at Logic, with the state government contributing to both investments.

“The Andrews Labor government has attracted significant private sector investment in Wodonga through its Regional Jobs Fund, which will create 29 new local jobs.”
