State Rep. Mark Huizenga commended today an announcement of 100 new jobs soon to be created in the City of Walker thanks to an expansion by BISSELL, Inc. The company’s existing Walker headquarters will be expanded to facilitate its growing global operations.

“I am excited for these new career opportunities for the hard-working people of the 74^th District,” Rep. Huizenga said. “Kent County is a growing community, and it is encouraging to see Bissell recognize Walker as an ideal place to continue their longstanding investment in West Michigan.”

BISSELL is a family-owned business founded in 1876 that creates premium home cleaning products. The expansion, which includes a $10 million investment, is supported by a $500,000 Michigan Business Development Program performance-based grant from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation. The Walker location was chosen over other out-of-state possibilities and
