A Printer All His Life
The terrorist attacks of that day had an inadvertent effect on the in-plant. The Health Department got heavily involved in federal programs to increase preparedness in the homeland. In the end, federal bio-terrorism grant money funded a major equipment infusion unlike anything the in-plant had ever seen. This followed a $1.2 million investment by the department in new press, computer-to-plate and bindery equipment. In just a short time, Monello's in-plant grew from a small basement shop to a three-facility operation: two in Manhattan and one in Brooklyn.
