What words of sweet nothing do economic development special ists whisper into industrial ears that make them pull up those New Jer sey roots and head for a place like the New River Valley? -Ad what do.these companies think about their decision? Was it worth it? Do they like all that they found? This past year, the New River Valley has seen several new compa nies come to the area, companies that were heavily recruited by the various economic development of fices. While that effort tooks lots of time and money, the payback was sufficient because of construction projects for the buildings and the possibility of more than 300 new jobs for the area. Rene Composite Materials Inc., Plymouth Inc. and BBA Fric tion Inc. are very different kinds of companies with different agendas. But each was looking for an excel lent work force, inexpensive operat ing costs and a good location acces sible to their markets. The New River Valley had that and much more. "We did a very traditional market survey, concentrating on various economic factors such as lower operating costs, good work force, etc., and we found several locations that had that," said Peter Mueller, vice president of finance at BBA Friction. "Ultimately, the decision came down to subjective factors, matters of personal prefer ence, and the New River Valley won." Rene is a Canadian company that makes heavy-truck hood parts. Company officials signed the lease for its shell building at the Giles County Mountain View Industrial Park during the summer, but coun ty officials had been working with the company since April 1991. Currently, the company has hired 35 people, but it expects to grow to 120 workers by 1995. Rene officials knew that Vir ginia was the "bull's eye" of their marketing maps, so they started their search with the state's eco nomic development office, which put them in contact with Giles offi cials. "We chose Giles County be cause of its proximity to our cus tomers," said Darrell Mayton, plant manager. Rene makes truck body parts for Mack Trucks, Peterbilt, Kenworth and Volvo-GM, which have plants in South Caroli na, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Tennessee and Virginia. "All of these are within 200 to 300 miles from our plant," he said. Giles also had a 50,000square-foot shell building available in its industrial park. Rene has signed a lease agreement for the building that includes an option to renew at the end of five years. Mayton said the whole experi ence of moving and settling into Giles County has been very posi tive. I "It's everything we expected," he said. "There were no surprises and no disappointments, from the quality of the work force to the size of the building." The availability of a building also was a drawing card for Plym outh.

"Virginia was the most aggres sive in wanting us to come," said Frank Pappert, vice president for Finance. The company narrowed the choice to Suffolk, Farmville and Radford. It was leaning toward Farmville, but legal problems were holding up the construction of a building. Radford had the industrial park, complete with water and sew er. Also, the contractor who would have constructed the plant in Farm ville was from Dublin and prom ised to have the Radford building finished in time for the company to make its move. Plymouth agreed, and the building was finished a month ahea.i of time. "You hear a lot of horror stories in situations like this, but it didn't happen here," Pappert said. "We weren't shipping out enough initially, bui by March we were as efficient as we were in New Jersey." Part of this efficiency could be related to the work force. Indeed, economic development specialists commend the work ethic of New River Valley employees and their commitment to their jobs. Moreover, the wretched eco nomic situation that has generated mass layoffs has created a work force hungry for jobs. "Our workers are at least as good as we expected and probably a little better," Pappert said. "They're more educated than in Jersey and are more interested in improving their education." The one area that did create a few problems was finding qualified press people experienced in fourcolor process. Pappert said the company's solution was to find peo ple that could be trained.
