Windsor Marketing breaks ground on expansion

Windsor Marketing Group said it has broken ground on an expansion at its Suffield headquarters that is aided by $1.5 million state loan.

The loan from the Department of Economic and Community Development, approved in March by the Bond Commission, will help the shopper-marketing company retain 138 jobs and create 27 more.

WMG is adding nearly 88,000 square feet to its 107,000-square-foot building, Chief Marketing Officer Philip West said.

The expansion and investment in new equipment and technology will cost a total of $6.9 million, according to West, who said WMG has already added 12 jobs and hopes to add 15 more by fall.
