City touting job creation, diversification with Hut 8 mining project
MEDICINE HAT, AB – Over 100 new jobs are coming to Medicine Hat, as the City prepares for the arrival of a major employer in Hut 8 Mining Corp.
Announced on Monday, Hut 8 will be launching their second Bitcoin mining and blockchain operation in Alberta after opening a centre near Drumheller last summer.
Mayor Ted Clugston said they’re excited to partner with the cryptocurrency company, especially if it means expanding their reach in the digital technology sector.
