Last week, the Itasca County Board of Commissioners approved the abatement of taxes for Anderson Fabrics which is considering expanding into a location in Bigfork where e2ip Technologies is currently operating. The CEO of e2ip Technologies announced in May that the Bigfork location would be closing and moving operations to their headquarters in Montreal, Canada. E2ip works primarily with the aviation industry and has been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic.Â
Background
President/CEO of Anderson Fabrics Hans Halvorson contacted Bigfork Mayor Brian Boon in September 2020 to say he was interested in employing a small number of part-time employees in Bigfork. At the time, Halvorson was not aware of the opportunity with the e2ip Technologies location. A tour of the facility was set up and it was determined the e2ip opportunity would be great for Anderson Fabrics.Â
