“Recently, McSweeney’s made the decision to expand our product lines which required larger facilities. The Lawrence Economic Development Corporation was with us every step of the way. LEDC truly moves at the speed of industry. In less than a few short months, LEDC helped us package our expansion and move to a facility that made our company more conducive to growth in our manufacturing industry. They made our expansion more cost effective and less time consuming so that we could continue to focus on increasing revenue.”
“With our company, training and employee development is the key to success. Thankfully, Liebert Corporation has a strong relationship with the local economic development team. Since our company’s development in Ironton, Ohio over 20 years ago, the Lawrence Economic Development Corporation (LEDC) has helped us to recruit, train, and keep employees. LEDC also took the lead in helping our company expand in Ironton and into The Point Industrial Park making Liebert one of the largest employers in the region.”
“Expanding into Southern Ohio was one of our best business decisions. From day one, the Lawrence Economic Development Corporation was focused and determined to help us accomplish our goals in increasing manufacturing opportunities and creating jobs. We’ve now doubled in size thanks to the local resources, great workforce, and LEDC’s quick, industry friendly accommodations at The Point Industrial Park.”
