12/18/13 - A facility formerly used to print a local newspaper is being bought by a metal-packaging company. Armor Protective Packaging is finalizing the purchase of the Howell Township plant once used by the Livingston County Daily Press & Argus. The packaging company is currently based in an industrial park in Howell. The $1.6 million project includes adding about 5,000 square feet and using adjacent land for a truck driveway and future expansion. The deal is expected to be finalized next month. The newspaper closed the plant in July 2012 and moved printing operations to Ann Arbor. Armor Protective Packaging makes corrosion-inhibiting metal packaging products that protect metals during shipping. It works primarily in the automotive industry. (JK)
