Griffith Applauds New Jobs in Pulaski County
Friday,
November 30, 2012 -
Congressman Morgan Griffith (R-VA) released the following statement regarding Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell’s announcement that Phoenix Packaging Operations LLC will be investing $20 million to expand its operations in Pulaski County, creating 100 new jobs:
“Generally we only hear about the businesses that are failing, but there are real life success stories like Phoenix Packaging Operations in our backyard in southwest Virginia. Phoenix Packaging has brought nearly 500 new manufacturing jobs to the region over the last few years. Their success contributes to the success of the New River Valley and of the Commonwealth as a whole. It’s as simple as that.
“Whether you live in Pulaski County or elsewhere, jobs remain the number one issue. I was proud to be of small assistance in helping then-Delegate Dave Nutter and Governor McDonnell in bringing Phoenix Packaging to Pulaski County originally, and applaud Phoenix Packaging, the New River Valley Economic Development Alliance, the Virginia Economic Development Partnership, and Pulaski County for their work in creating these new jobs for residents of the 9th District.”
