Portage Arc Industries has a new project. Crime Stoppers has awarded the centre with their packaging contract.
 
"MediaScence" a company that raises nearly $1.5 million a year for Crime Stoppers will package in Portage for the first time. Executive Director of Arc Industries Chris Lundgren says their first job is a big one.

Lundgren thinks Arc and Crime Stoppers are a perfect match. He adds this program will bring in revenue that can be used to improve the facility and create more challenging projects for their participants.

Lundgren says they have 38 program participants who are really excited.  About 20 will work on the packaging program at a time.
