Richmond just got more good news on the job front — the prospect of 66 new jobs.
2nd Life, a year-old South Side company that refurbishes and resells used electronic equipment around the world, is planning to add 66 new employees over the next two years to handle dramatic growth.
Company founder and CEO Michael Feibelman said the company will invest $1.1 million to improve its space at 1400 Commerce Road to handle the influx of new employees. The company currently employs 15 people.
Richmond Mayor Levar M. Stoney, state Secretary of Commerce Todd Haymore, state Sen. Rosalyn R. Dance, Richmond Delegate Betsy Carr and city officials joined Mr. Feibelman and his staff on Wednesday to herald the company’s dramatic expansion.
The company sees growth as it creates stronger ties with companies like Amazon, Best Buy and Crutchfield Electronics.
