Merrill common council approves annexation petition for heavy equipment dealership along HWY 51

MERRILL - Merrill could expect to see a new heavy machinery dealership along Highway 51 soon after the Merrill Common Council approved an annexation petition from Nortrax Inc.

The council unanimously approved an annexation petition from the Florida-based company, which sells John Deere heavy farming and forestry equipment.

Merrill Mayor Bill Bialecki says Nortrax will employ 15 full-time workers in functional parts, service and sales. He also says the company will merge its two facilities from Mosinee and Monico into one location in Merrill.
