According to Madison.com, one year after former Wisconin Gov. Scott Walker struck a last-minute deal to keep a Fox Valley Kimberly-Clark plant open, officials with the company say they’re “making great progress" on expanding a facility previously slated for closure.   

In the midst of a $115-million investment at the company's Cold Spring plant that includes a new 135,000-square-foot warehouse, Kimberly-Clark has also hired 80 workers for the facility and is planning to bring more on in the future. 

The $28-million deal, announced Dec. 13, 2018, came in the waning days of Walker's second term. The agreement kept the Cold Spring facility in business, while the nearby Neenah Nonwovens plant still ultimately shut down.
