We are very confident in Patrick's ability to step in and lead our job creation and retention efforts. His past experience combined with his relationships both in the community and within our targeted industries will keep our momentum going forward.

The fact that you have a high-paying, high quality job that uses those highways, that uses that airport, it enhances your quality of life.

It's imperative that communities have this kind of access to markets.
