In our 3 years of operation, we have been very pleased with the local support. We have already faced several business challenges, but the Office of Economic Development and the local government have been very helpful in researching programs and getting us in touch with the right people to make things happen. I don’t think we would have seen this type of support if we had decided to settle in a larger metropolis. It’s refreshing that help is a phone call or email away.
