"As a manufacturer in Jackson County, Alabama I have found this to be a very profitable and prosperous location for us. The atmosphere in Jackson County has been very good to us from the standpoint of support from the local, state, and federal officials.

The workforce has been very strong and good to work with. We've been able to find individuals who have good work ethics, are trained and work hard, and are very committed to the job. Therefore, we've been able to develop a very prosperous workforce and a very low turnover.

Another advantage we've found in locating in Jackson County is the fact that we're located centrally between several major cities such as Atlanta, Chattanooga, Birmingham and Nashville that are within close proximity for transportation, with a good highway system, rail system, and water system. This has been a real advantage to our operation and can be to other operations that may seek to locate here in Jackson County."

"I think the most startling thing about Scottsboro when you first move here is the pro-business attitude of the people in the area. All levels of government seem to cooperate. They make it clear that they want to see the development happen. They don't put obstacles in the way like you see in some other places.

The climate here is absolutely amazing. There is a world-class workforce. It's easy to recruit people and it's easy to get motivated people. They are very down-to-earth and helpful. One of the nicest aspects I've noticed about the people I work with is the caring attitude about how the company is doing and their commitment to work."
