Washington, Feb 7, 2008 - "In addition to being a great place to live, Ocala also is a great place to do business, and the designation of the Lockheed Martin Facility in Ocala as a 2007 Best Plant underscores this point," said Rep. Cliff Stearns (R-Ocala). "Industry Week recognized Lockheed Martin in Ocala for its emphasis on employee education, and I look forward to visiting with the employees and congratulating them on this recognition. These are the high-tech jobs Ocala needs to continue to grow economically in the 21st century."
