147 new jobs to be created at Marshall Tenneco plant

The Tenneco Automotive Marshall facility expects to create 147 new jobs as part of new contract with Dodge and Lincoln to produce exhuast components and a new contract with Ford as a result of Ford's closure of its Monroe plant. Tenneco is investing $12 million in new equipment while the Marshall building owner is investing $3.6 million in building improvements. The city of Marshall is also working to obtain a federal CDBG grant to finance a new access road to the rear building loading and unloading docks to be known as Dobbins Court.
